Organizations are increasingly deploying technologies that have the ability to parse through large amounts of data, acquire skills and knowledge, and operate autonomously. These technologies diverge from prior technologies in their capacity to exercise intentionality over protocol development or action selection in the practice of organizational routines, thereby affecting organizations in new and distinct ways. In this article, we categorize four forms of conjoined agency between humans and technologies: (1) conjoined agency with assisting technologies, (2) conjoined agency with arresting technologies, (3) conjoined agency with augmenting technologies, and (4) conjoined agency with automating technologies. We then theorize on the different ways in which these forms of conjoined agency impact a routine’s change at a particular moment in time as well as a routine’s responsiveness to feedback over time. In doing so, we elaborate on how organizations may evolve in varied and diverse ways based on the form(s) of conjoined agency they deploy in their organizational design choices.

人与技术：组织中联合代理的形式

组织越来越多地部署能够解析大量数据、获取技能和知识以及自主运营的技术。这些技术在组织惯例实践中对协议开发或行动选择行使意向性的能力方面与现有技术不同，从而以新的和独特的方式影响组织。在本文中，我们将人类与技术的联合代理分为四种形式：(1) 联合代理与辅助技术，(2) 联合代理与逮捕技术，(3) 联合代理与增强技术，以及 (4) 联合代理与自动化技术。然后，我们对这些形式的联合机构在特定时刻影响常规变化的不同方式以及随着时间的推移对反馈的反应的不同方式进行理论分析。在此过程中，我们详细说明了组织如何根据他们在组织设计选择中部署的联合机构的形式以各种不同的方式发展。
