Issues in Organisational Behaviour

Paul Thompson and David McHugh

Chapter 7 in Work Organisations, 1990, pp 245-282 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The ‘subjective factor’ in the study of organisations is manifested in the experiences of organisational participants and in the identities through which they transact with others in organisational environments. Our examination of these issues of subjectivity in Part Two is initially viewed through psychological approaches which tend to focus mainly on behaviour as opposed to experience. The intention here is not to ignore the sociological and structural accounts of subjectivity available in the areas covered in Part One. Rather, we begin by examining the deficiencies of behavioural approaches in order to indicate how a closer articulation of structural and behavioural explanations can benefit the understanding of organisational subjectivity.
