臺灣的組織行為研究：過去、現在、及未來

Organizational Behavior Studies in Taiwan: Past, Present, and Future

隨著工業化程度的提高，台灣近幾年來的組織行為研究有越來越熱絡的趨勢，不但數量有所增加，而且品質亦逐年提升。然而，十分令人訝異的是，竟然沒有任何文獻針對過去台灣組織行為的研究，進行回顧式的探討。因此，我們並不知道台灣過去組織行為研究的弱點與優勢何在，也不知道何種知識已經有所累積，何種議題卻仍然所知有限；我們更不知道理論與方法是否有所突破、多所創新；或是面臨困難、一籌莫展。為了彌補此一漏洞，本文透過對台灣自七○年代以降至二十一世紀伊始的組織行為研究，進行評論性的檢討，並以1981與1991年做為分水嶺，逐一檢視各階段的研究主題、研究背景、研究方法、及研究發現等，並指明可能的缺失與不足之處，期百尺竿頭、更進一步。在此基礎之上，我們也考慮未來大環境的演變，點出可能需要進一步探索的領域或議題，俾對台灣及華人社會組織行為的現象有更周延而深入的洞察，並對全球的組織行為知識做出貢獻。

With the growth of Taiwanese industry, research concerning organizational behavior in Taiwan has not only expanded in quantity, but also in quality. Surprisingly, little work has been done scrutinizing past investigations in order to make reference for future studies. Therefore, the strengths and weaknesses of organizational behavior research in Taiwan remain unclear. We did not know what kind of knowledge has been accumulated and what kind of topics still remain unexplored. Moreover, innovations in theories and methods are vaguely understood. In order to compensate for these limitations, this article attempts an analysis of research of organizational behavior in Taiwan from 1981 to 2001. The research topics, backgrounds, methods, and results would be reviewed, and possible deficiencies and shortcomings exposed to offer a basis for future improvements. Future environmental changes would also be anticipated to enlighten the field of research topics that might enrich our understanding of the Taiwanese and Chinese organizational behaviors, and perhaps contributing to organizational behavior studies in general.
