بررسی تطبیقی مکاتب معنابخشی در مطالعات سازمان و مدیریت

در دنیای حاضر روش‌هایی که مدیران به‌کار می‎گیرند، منبعث ازمعنابخشی آنان به‌محیط بوده وبراین اساس چگونگی معنابخشی  مدیران به‌پدیده‌های موجود، نقش قابل‌توجهی بر کیفیت وچگونگی اتخاذ سیاست‌های آنان دارد چراکه درک ومعنا دادن به‌پیام‌های دریافتی از محیط زمینه‌سازاقدامات بعدی برای پاسخگویی به‌این نشانه‎ها است. بر این اساس نوشتار پیش رو با بهره گیری ازالگوی مطالعه تطبیقی جورج بِرِدی به ‌مطالعه و بررسی تطبیقی نظریات و مکاتب معنابخشی موجود پرداخته و مترصدد است مشخص نماید در مطالعات سازمان و مدیریت کدام‌یک ازچارچوب‌های معنابخشی تبیین بهتری برای شرایط وپدیده‌ها ارائه می‌دهد. یافته های پژوهش مبین آن است که در مطالعات سازمانی چارچوب ارائه شده توسط وایک و اسنودن مبنای بهتری برای تحلیل پدیده های سازمانی بوده است. بر این اساس با درک معنابخشی می‌توان امید داشت تلاش‌های مدیران برای کنترل محیط پیچیده پیرامون  خود بهتر ارزیابی‌شده و از آن به ‌منظور هدایت کنش‌های سازمانی و شکل‌دهی به‌ واکنش‌های افراد در محیط خود استفاده شود.

comparative study of sensemakinng schools in organization and management studies

in the new world, the methods that managers use to make policies are derived from how they making sense to the environment, and how managers interpret the existing phenomena, has a significant role on the quality and adaptation with their policies. in fact, understanding and making sense to the messages paves the way for the next steps to respond these symptoms. accordingly, this article uses the beredy model of comparative study to survey the existing theories and schools of sensemakinng and seeks to answer this question that how sensemakinng provides a framework for policy making in the organization? and in the  organization and management studies, which of the existing sensemakinng frameworks provides a better explanation for conditions and phenomena? for this purpose, after examining the existing organizational sensemakinng schools, these two questions have been answered. based on the research findings, by understanding the sensemakinng in the policy-making, it can be hoped that policymakers’ efforts to control their environment are better evaluated and uses to guide organizational actions and shape the reactions of people in their environment.introduction the increasing use of sensemakinng in organization and management research, has made it a relatively new theoretical structure in the research literature. sensemaking activities are particularly critical in dynamic and turbulent contexts, where the need to create and maintain coherent understandings that sustain relationships and enable collective action is especially important and challenging. in this study, the concept of sensemakinng in different studies of organization and management is focused from the point of view of different researchers. scholars believe that in the literature that focuses on issues related to communication and organization, five different approaches to sensemakinng have a high position, which are:karl weick’s sensemaking in organizational communicationdaniel russell’s sensemaking in human-computer interactiongary klein’s sensemaking in cognitive systems engineeringbrenda dervin sense-making in user studiesdave snowden and organizational sense-making in knowledge managementbased on this, the current research studies and compares existing theories and schools of sensemakinng and tries to answer the question, how does sensemakinng provide a framework for policy-making in the organization, and which of the existing sensemakinng frameworks provides a better explanation for conditions and phenomena in the policy-making?case study as mentioned, in the literatures of organization and management, five typologies of schools of sensemaking have been introduced. these schools have been given the attention of researchers individually and separately, but as far as researchers have searched, these five schools have not been compared in a comparative study, and sometimes in some studies, a brief comparative review of at least two theories has been presented. therefore, this study compares these schools therefore, this study examines comparative study of these schools. materials and methods the current comparative study has been done by using george beredy’s model in four stages: description, interpretation, juxtaposition, comparison. according to this means sensemakinng was investigated from the perspective of different schools, and the texts taken from the existing theories were coded using the qualitative content analysis method and analyzed based on the brady model, and after classifying the obtained information, the similarities and differences of sensemakinng schools were compared.discussion and results all sensemakinng schools have a purposeful effort towards better interactions to solve complex problems and reduce existing ambiguities.
