摘要

摘要在过去的十年里,管理者和专业人士对新工作方式(NWoW)的兴趣迅速增长,比利时和荷兰多家声称实施“NWoW工作空间”的公司就是明证。NWoW通常被用作一个方便的总括术语,用于指定一系列组织调整,包括开放和“灵活”的工作空间、新的IT工具,以及被认为是“创新”的文化和管理变革。虽然学术文献通过入住后研究调查了NWoW工作空间的几个案例,但目前还没有关于导致这些转变的变化过程的研究。本文的目标是将NWoW概念化为受政治和权力游戏影响的组织变革项目。通过对一家多站点媒体公司实施NWoW项目的实证研究,本文阐述了NWoW政治概念的三个含义。首先,强调了地方行为者讨价还价和扭曲决策当局战略意图的能力。其次,该研究强调了关键中介机构在NWoW项目设计中的关键作用。第三,批判性地讨论了参与式变革方法。本文还为未来的NWoW研究提供了建议。

When the Gallic Village Strikes Back: The Politics Behind ‘New Ways of Working’ Projects*
ABSTRACT In the last decade, the interest of managers and professionals for New Ways of Working (NWoW) has grown rapidly, as evidenced by multiple firms claiming to implement ‘NWoW workspaces’ in Belgium and in the Netherlands. NWoW is often used as a convenient umbrella term to designate a set of organizational adjustments that include open and ‘flexible’ workspaces, new IT tools, as well as cultural and managerial transformations believed to be ‘innovative’. While the academic literature has investigated several cases of NWoW workspaces through post-occupancy studies, there is at the present time no research available on the change process leading to these transformations. The ambition of the paper is to conceptualize NWoW as projects of organizational change subject to politics and power games. Through an empirical study of a multi-site media company implementing a NWoW project, the paper illustrates three implications of a political conception of NWoW. First, the ability of local actors to bargain and to twist the strategic intentions of the deciding authorities is highlighted. Second, the study underlines the crucial role of key intermediaries in designing NWoW projects. Third, participative approaches of change are critically discussed. The paper also provides recommendations for future research on NWoW.
