    Towards a Theory of Historical Reflexivity

    Get PDF
    Researchers in the field of historical organization studies (HOS) have hinted at the role of reflexivity in history research. However, the benefits of merging ideas of reflexivity with history remain unexplored and theoretically under-developed. In this chapter, we introduce an initial theory of historical reflexivity that combines knowledge from HOS, emotion in organizations, and an intersubjective perspective on being reflexive. We explain and elaborate on the meaning and purpose of historical reflexivity as theory within HOS, and we illustrate the concept with an example of ‘faculty career achievement’ in the corporatized university. In the concluding section of the chapter, we consider the utility of our model for HOS and discuss implications for both research and practice

    ANTi-History : toward an historiographical approach to (re)assembling knowledge of the past

    Get PDF
    352 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm.Includes abstractIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 325-352)This dissertation sets out to answer the call for the historic turn in organization studies by creating an alternative methodology for history, one that I have come to call ANTi-History . In the development of this alternative historiographic approach (viz. ANTiHistory) I have drawn on insights from three distinct literatures: (1) the sociology of knowledge, (2) Marxist and cultural theory historiography, and (3) actor-network theory. The collective and iterative insights drawn from these literatures are developed over the first 4 chapters to constitute ANTi-History in chapter 5. The viability and performativity of this new approach is then explored in the following three chapters (chapters 6-8) by way of analysis of archival and other materials relating to the history of a specific organization - Pan American Airways (PAA). The three empirical applications of ANTi-History seek to historicize different facets of PAA' s past, including an early attempt by key players to write a founder-funded history of the organization (chapter 6), its founding (chapter 7), and representations of its development in the early years, from 1927 to 1940 (chapter 8). The ultimate aim of the thesis is to develop a new approach to historiography that stresses the need for history to be understood as the socially constructed effect of the interest-driven politics of actor-networks; a crafting of history through the privileging of empirical traces over pre-existing theoretical assumptions; an emphasis on following actors around to understand how a socio-past holds together as a network; and a realization of the emancipatory potential of history through its situation in a process of the pluralization of history. Originally a response to Booth and Rowlinson' s (2006) call for a historic turn in management and organizational studies, the development of ANTi-History sets out to meet the challenge of developing a methodology capable of simultaneously historicizing and theoretically engaging the field. In the process, I argue, this thesis has implications for business history in particular and historiography in general in the development of an alternative methodology for studying the past

    The effects of procedural injustice and outcome favorability on stress : an experimental study

    Get PDF
    vi, 65 leaves ; 29 cm.Includes abstract and appendices.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 46-54).In the context of the stressor, stress, strain paradigm, I examined the main and interactive relationships of procedural justice and outcome favorability on measures of affect, self-reported stress and physiological indices of strain with a sample of 79 university students. Using a fully crossed 2 x 2 design I manipulated both procedural justice (high vs. low) and outcome favorability (favorable vs. unfavorable). I hypothesized that low vs. high procedural justice as well as low vs. high outcome favorability would be associated with more stress, poorer affect, and higher heart rate and blood pressure. I also hypothesized that the interaction between low procedural justice and low outcome favorability would result in the most stress, poorest affect and highest heart rate and blood pressure. In large part these hypotheses were not supported. Reasons for non-significance as well as limitations and directions for future research are discussed

    Fleeting thoughts on enduring networks: conceptualizing the Atlantic Schools of Business conference

    Get PDF
    This paper sets out to analyze the (enduring) character of the Atlantic Schools of Business through application of an Actor-Network Theory (ANT) approach. Drawing on selected developments that occurred since 2000, the paper attempts to disturb the “black-boxed” character of ASB and reveal it as a series of inscribed processes that constitute its continuance

    A meta-analysis of work teams and procedural justice

    Get PDF
    Meta-analysis is used to assess the somewhat neglected relationship between work teams and procedural justice. Specifically, the effect of a team’s process control, their level of commitment, collectivism and the presence of voice on procedural justice are observed. Results of the meta-analysis show that there is a strong relationship between the factors tested and highlights the need for future research in this area
