Publishing in the Organizational Sciences -The
Dilemma of Values-????????????????
2
The purpose of this article

• 1.Organization sciences are many disciplines,
  many traditions, and many values about how this
  field should proceed. (???????????,???????????,??
  ?????????????)
• 2.There are multiple configurations of values
  about research in the organizational sciences
  that lead to conflicts that surface in the
  publishing process. (???????????,?????????)
• 3.The above discussion of the values can help
  newcomers to the field much easier enjoyable.
  (P147P148) (??????????,???????,????)

Entry Into the Field

• The newcomer to the field would do well to take
  this as the first clue that this is not a field
  where there is one best way or where consensus
  is likely to be the rule.

The Choice of Product-for 3 type of people

• 1.New knowledge-Researcher
• gtPublications are most critical in the
  researcher role because the product of this role
  is the most intangible, and the evaluation of the
  researcher is based primarily on publications.
• 2.Educated students-Teacher
• gtPublications are much less critical in the
  teacher role
• 3.Organizational change-Practitioner/Consultant
• gtThis role relies least on publication, the
  outcomes of an organizational intervention being
  the measure of role success.
• The teacher practitioner role will be the
  conflict.

The Production of Knowledge

• Dilemma 1 (??????????) Should I take time to
  learn more about aspects of the field that I am
  less familiar with? ( P134)
• YES, intellectual exchanges with your colleagues
  and perhaps even collaborate with them in a newly
  mutual interest.(?????,?????)
• NO, concentrate your efforts in these areas and
  you will be respected by your colleagues for your
  special expertise. (??????,?????)

6
The Production of Knowledge

• Dilemma 2 (???????)could you help me decide
  which approach (eclecticism/program-matic
  research) is more appropriate? ( P134)
• eclecticism research (????????) broad range of
  interests so as to educate students and guide
  them developing new ideas.
• programmatic research (??????) single area,
  establish your name and finally tenure.

7
The Production of Knowledge

• Dilemma 3 (???????)what are the issues that I
  should consider in the selection of a topic? (
  P135)
• gtmainstream of current interest in the field.
• (???????????)

8
The Production of Knowledge

• Dilemma 4(????????????) If there are more and
  less acceptable topics, are there also more and
  less acceptable research strategies? ( P135)
• gtfield research and collect real data.
  (????????????) Organizational science needs
  to collect data from organizations, not from
  students or convenient samples.

9
The Production of Knowledge

• Dilemma 5(??????????????)Is this related to the
  philosophies of inductive versus deductive
  reasoning? ( P136)
• YES, field research is often based on an
  inductive philosophy because much of this
  research is not theory driven. (field
  research????????,??????)
• NO, the philosophy of research is independent of
  whether research is conducted in the field or the
  laboratory. (??????????????)

10
The Production of Knowledge

• Dilemma 6(????????????,????????)Most of the
  research that I have read in the organizational
  sciences used a survey method to collect data. Is
  this the most accepted method of research in our
  field? ( P136)
• gt YES, The survey when carefully designed with
  good psychometric properties, can be the most
  versatile tool of organizational scientist.
  (???????????????,???????????)

11
The Production of Knowledge

• Dilemma 7 (??????????????????) Should I try to
  use other methods in my research? How do I make a
  decision about what method I use? ( P137)
• gtIt depends. You should also consider the
  possibility of using multiple methods in the same
  study, which will yield a much richer perspective
  of the problem you are studying.
  (?????,?????????????)
• gt When you might use other methods under special
  circumstances, survey seem to be the most
  pragmatic method of research.(???????????,???????
  ???)

12
The Production of Knowledge

• Dilemma 8 (?????????????????????????????) If I
  were to conduct a field study and would like to
  use a survey, are there standard surveys
  available? And if I put one together, should I be
  writing my own items or using previously
  developed scales? ( P137)
• gtThere are several fairly well-known complete
  surveys that you can use for your research. You
  can also use the reliability and validity data
  that previous research has provided.
  (???????????????,??????????????????)

13
The Production of Knowledge

• Dilemma 9 (?????????????????????????)If I am
  engaged in an ongoing program of research, how
  often do I need to publish? How much new
  information needs to be generated before I have
  the content for a publishable paper? ( P138)
• gtPublishing is the name of the game. Publish as
  often as you can. Five articles always look like
  higher quality than one article.(??????,?????5??
  ?????1???????)

14
The Production of Knowledge

• Dilemma 10 (?????????????????????????????????)Th
  roughout this discussion, we have talked about
  research and data collection as though they were
  the same. Is all research in this field
  empirical? Is empirical research more acceptable?
  What are the alternatives to empirical research?
  ( P139)
• gtAs a young scholar in this field, you should be
  concerned with doing empirical research. Review
  articles and theory development are reserved for
  more senior, well-established organizational
  scientists. (????????,??????????????????)

15
Balancing the roles

• Dilemma 11 (?????????????) As a faculty member
  at a university, I will be required to teach.
  What is the relationship between research and
  teaching? How should I approach my teaching
  responsibilities? ( P139)
• gt

16
Balancing the roles

• Dilemma 12 (?????????????????) Should I
  consider consulting opportunities with
  organizations? What are the advantages and
  disadvantages of doing this? ( P141)
• gtConsulting is very important aspect of being a
  re-searcher in the organizational sciences. You
  must remember that this is an applied field and
  have experience as a practitioner in ongoing
  real world organization. Contacts in the
  business communities makes it easier to find a
  research sample. (??????????????,??????????????
  ?????????,?????????????????)

17
Balancing the roles

• Dilemma 13(????????,?????????) We have talked
  at length about the process of doing research,
  but we have not talked about publishing. How do
  the issues we discussed relate to publishing in
  the organizational sciences? ( P142)
• gtYou should try publishing a study that used an
  observational method and qualitative data, not a
  laboratory study. (????????????????,????????)

18
Balancing the roles

• Dilemma 14 (?????) If this is what the review
  process is like, how does one ever get anything
  published in this field? ( P142)
• gtGiven that editors and editorial boards have
  particular biases, it follows that each
  publication outlet will have a unique
  configuration of values about what gets
  published. (Pay close attention to these values
  and you will soon learn the configuration of
  values represented by each journal.)

19
Balancing the roles

• Dilemma 15 (????????????) Given the variety of
  perspectives we have discussed, how do editors
  get agreement among multiple reviewers on a
  particular article? ( P143)
• gt????????reviewers??,editor?????????reviewer?????

Balancing the roles- Dilemma 15(Cont.)?
21
Balancing the roles

• Dilemma 16 (???????????) Do certain prominent
  scholars get special treat-ment when they submit
  articles to journals? ( P144)
• Its a difficult question to answer, because its
  hard to discover clear evidence to prove that.
  Some journals conduct blind review process to
  eliminate question about favorable treatment.

Balancing the roles

• Dilemma 18 (?????????????) What are the
  advantages of publishing books, or chapters in
  books, rather than writing journal articles? (

24
Balancing the roles

• Dilemma 19 (???????????????) Arent you being
  too cynical about this issue? Isnt the simpler
  explanation that editors are more aware of the
  prominent scholars, and therefore invited them, a
  reasonable alternate explanation? ( P145)

Balancing the roles

• Dilemma 20 (????????????) How perfect should
  a paper be before I send it to a journal for
  review? ( P146)

  ????????,??????????????????????,???????????
• gt(The less energy you spend in the perfecting
  process, the easier it is to deal with the
  eventual compromises.)

26
Balancing the roles

• Dilemma 21 (?????????) What do you do if your
  paper is rejected and you feel that the rejection
  was on the basis of incompatible values? ( P146)
