ABSTRACT

In the field of organization studies, little consideration has thus far been devoted to the study of literature. The lacuna in the extant scholarship is unfortunate insofar as there is much to be gained for researchers interested in understanding organization to critically engage with literature. As an illustrative example of how literature can inform myriad pertinent discourses in organization studies, in this piece we study the question of empathy. That is, we describe just some of what may be gleaned about empathy from literature using anecdotes from a pedagogical exercise. Finally, we close this piece with a brief overview of the articles selected for this special issue.

摘要

迄今为止，在组织研究领域，很少有文献研究。现有研究的空白是不幸的，因为有兴趣了解组织以批判性地参与文学的研究者有很多收获。作为文学如何在组织研究中为无数相关话语提供参考的说明性例子，在本文中，我们研究了移情的问题。就是说，我们仅使用教学活动中的轶事来描述一些有关文学中共情的东西。最后，我们以简要概述本期特刊的文章作为结尾。
