摘要

组织变革研究表明,组织中的变革过程是如何按顺序连接起来,从而在一段时间内形成变革轨迹的;然而,对于持续的组织变革是如何在一段时间内整合较远的变革过程,从而形成组织的长期轨迹,研究还没有提供相应的理解。为了更好地理解持续变革与轨迹形成之间的动态关系,我们将变革过程称为转折点,认为转折点是轨迹的内在和形成因素。我们根据转折点的定义、方向和曲线特征来定义转折点,并将其与组织变革轨迹的形成联系起来。借鉴德勒兹的折叠概念以及实际事件和奇异事件之间的区别,我们从理论上分析了行动者如何将过去和未来的轨迹转折点作为奇异事件连接到当前转折点的实际事件中。受德勒兹 "折叠 "概念的启发,我们为组织变革轨迹在转折点的形成建立了一个理论框架。这一框架解释了正在进行的变革过程是如何形成长期轨迹的,而长期轨迹又是如何塑造正在进行的变革过程的,从而为当前的变革研究做出了贡献。此外,它还提出了连续性在变革中更具活力和核心作用的观点,从而为相关文献做出了贡献。最后,我们使用德勒兹的 "折叠"(fold)概念,使我们能够提出如何将行动者在时间中的运动理论化,从而扩展当前的时间过程观点。

Organizing in the folding of time: Shaping organizational change trajectories at turning points
Organizational change research has shown how change processes in organizations connect sequentially to form a trajectory of change through time; however, research has yet to offer an understanding of how ongoing organizational change integrates more distant change processes across time to shape the organization’s long-term trajectory. To better understand the dynamics between ongoing change and the shaping of trajectories, we refer to change processes as turning points, arguing that turning points are immanent to – and formative of – trajectories. We define turning points in terms of their definitional, directional and curvilinear features, which we relate to the shaping of organizational change trajectories. Drawing on Deleuze’s concept of the fold and the distinction between actual and singular events, we theorize how actors connect past and future turning points of the trajectory as singular events into enacting the actual events of the current turning point. Inspired by Deleuze’s conception of the fold, we then develop a theoretical framework for the shaping of organizational change trajectories at turning points. This framework contributes to current change research by explaining how ongoing change processes give shape to long-term trajectories that subsequently shape the ongoing process of change. It also contributes to the literature by proposing a more dynamic and central role of continuity in change. Finally, our use of Deleuze’s concept of the fold enables us to suggest how theorizing actors’ movement through time may extend current process views of time.

期刊介绍: Organisation Studies (OS) aims to promote the understanding of organizations, organizing and the organized, and the social relevance of that understanding. It encourages the interplay between theorizing and empirical research, in the belief that they should be mutually informative. It is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal which is open to contributions of high quality, from any perspective relevant to the field and from any country. Organization Studies is, in particular, a supranational journal which gives special attention to national and cultural similarities and differences worldwide. This is reflected by its international editorial board and publisher and its collaboration with EGOS, the European Group for Organizational Studies. OS publishes papers that fully or partly draw on empirical data to make their contribution to organization theory and practice. Thus, OS welcomes work that in any form draws on empirical work to make strong theoretical and empirical contributions. If your paper is not drawing on empirical data in any form, we advise you to submit your work to Organization Theory – another journal under the auspices of the European Group for Organizational Studies (EGOS) – instead.
