Organizations face increasing demand to make meaningful, sustainable changes based on shifts in their external environments. This presents an unprecedented opportunity for insightful, useful research in the field of organizational change. As in other management science disciplines, the field suffers from a gap between research-favoring rigor and practice-favoring relevance. Through the framework of engaged scholarship—a collaborative approach to knowledge production—we present organizational change research as particularly well-positioned to utilize existing gap-related tensions to advance the field in terms of effective academic- and practice-based outcomes. We highlight empirical efforts in organizational change applied research that have contributed to theory building, method development, and practice knowledge. We include interview data collected from scholar-practitioners in the field and focus on the work of W. Warner Burke, in particular, for this special issue honoring the legacy of his rigorous and relevant contributions to the science and practice of organizational change.

严谨性和相关性的平衡:组织变革中的学术研究

组织面临着越来越多的需求,需要根据外部环境的变化做出有意义的、可持续的变化。这为组织变革领域有见地、有用的研究提供了前所未有的机会。与其他管理科学学科一样,该领域在以研究为导向的严谨性和以实践为导向的相关性之间存在差距。通过参与奖学金的框架——一种知识生产的协作方法——我们提出组织变革研究特别适合利用现有的与差距相关的紧张局势来推进该领域的有效学术和实践成果。我们强调了组织变革应用研究中的实证工作,这些工作对理论构建、方法开发和实践知识做出了贡献。
