-What are organizations?
Organization에 대한 간단한 기원 설명 : 개인으로써의 인간은 능력에 있어서 한계를 드러냄. 따라서 개인이 모여서 co-ordination ->역량(capacity)은 산술적 증가가 아닌 기하학적 증가. (1+1>2)
Organization은 의식적 결정(conscious decision)을 통해 인적·물적 자원을 효율적으로 동원하고 궁극적으로는 개인이나 집단의 목적을 성취하려 함.
Organizations involve bringing together human beings and physical resources in a co-ordinated and controlled mechanism in order to achieve certain objectives, otherwise impossible.
-Sociology and the study of organization
i) 산업화로 인한 18세기 후반과 19세기 초반의 사회적 불연속성에 대해 고전사회학자들의 관심이 지대했음. (Comte, Marx, Weber, Durkheim) 물론 20세기에도 사회학적 관심을 불러일으키는 변화들은 많았지만, 여전히 이 논의는 중심에 놓여있다.
Anthony Giddens에 따르자면, 세 가지 elements가 있음. A sociological approach to organizations is therefore concerned with understanding how we got the organization we have(historical sensitivity), how they differ across the world(anthropological sensitivity), and what alternatives types we can imagine(critical sensitivity).
ii)사회학은 개인과 사회구조의 관계에 대해 중요하게 여김.
현상학, 상호작용주의, 민속방법론 vs 기능주의, 구조주의적 맑시즘, 시스템이론
정리하자면..
The central issue in the study of organizations is precisely the tension between actorsas individual subjects with their own goals and interests and the organization as a structure of control and co-ordination which is trying to guide those actors to act 'for' the organization as a system. Even this is an inadequate conceptualization because there is no such thing as the 'organization' apart from actors; it is particular actors who try to induce 'system-like' qualities in the organization; such qualities cannot exist independently of actors. Nevertheless, the key issue remains the way in which organization seek to control the potential disorganization within themselves that is inescapable from their nature as socially constructed phenomena, and to utilize human resources in a directed and co-ordinated fashion in order to achieve objectives.
책의 내용 중 내게 필요한 건
-사회학에서 왜 조직을 연구해야 하는지에 대한 당위성.
-관료제(Bureaucracy)가 대두된 배경, 특성.
이 정도가 될 듯 하다.
전자는 어느정도 해결. 후자는 차츰차츰 해결할 듯. (10.11.11 기준)
