Organization scholars have extensively studied both the politics of organization and the organization of politics. Contributing to the latter, we argue for further and deeper consideration of political parties, since: (1) parties illuminate organizational dynamics of in- and exclusion; (2) internal struggles related to the constitution of identities, practices, and procedures are accentuated in parties; (3) the study of parties allow for the isolation of processes of normative and affective commitment; (4) parties prioritize and intensify normative control mechanisms; (5) party organizing currently represents an example of profound institutional change, as new (digital) formations challenge old bureaucratic models. Consequently, we argue that political parties should be seen as ‘critical cases’ of organizing, meaning that otherwise commonplace phenomena are intensified and exposed in parties. This allows researchers to use parties as magnifying glasses for zooming-in on organizational dynamics that may be suppressed or concealed by the seemingly non-political façade of many contemporary organizations. In conclusion, we argue that organization scholars are in a privileged position to investigate how political parties function today and how their democratic potential can be improved in the future. To this end, we call on Organization and Management Studies to engage actively with alternative parties in an attempt to explore and promote progressive change within the formal political system.

特快:政党和组织研究:政党是组织的重要案例

组织学者广泛研究了组织政治学和政治组织学。为促进后者,我们主张对政党进行进一步和更深层次的考虑,因为:(1)政党阐明了内外排斥的组织动力;(2)与身份,惯例和程序构成有关的内部斗争在各方中得到加强;(3)对当事方的研究允许将规范性承诺和情感性承诺的过程隔离开来;(4)各方优先考虑并加强规范性控制机制;(5)当新的(数字)形式挑战旧的官僚模式时,政党组织目前代表着深刻的制度变迁的一个例子。因此,我们认为,政党应被视为组织,意味着原本就很普遍的现象在各方中愈演愈烈。这使研究人员可以将聚会用作放大镜,以放大可能被许多当代组织看似非政治性的外立面所压制或掩盖的组织动态。总之,我们认为组织学者处于特权地位,可以调查政党今天的运作方式以及将来如何提高其民主潜力。为此,我们呼吁组织和管理研究与替代政党积极合作,以试图探索和促进正式政治体系内的渐进式变革。这使研究人员可以将聚会用作放大镜,以放大可能被许多当代组织看似非政治性的外立面所压制或掩盖的组织动态。总之,我们认为组织学者处于特权地位,可以调查政党今天的运作方式以及将来如何提高其民主潜力。为此,我们呼吁组织和管理研究与替代政党积极合作,以试图探索和促进正式政治体系内的渐进式变革。这使研究人员可以将聚会用作放大镜,以放大可能被许多当代组织看似非政治性的外立面所压制或掩盖的组织动态。总之,我们认为组织学者处于特权地位,可以调查政党今天的运作方式以及将来如何提高其民主潜力。为此,我们呼吁组织和管理研究与替代政党积极合作,以试图探索和促进正式政治体系内的渐进式变革。我们认为组织学者处于特权地位,可以调查政党今天的运作方式以及未来如何提高其民主潜力。为此,我们呼吁组织和管理研究与替代政党积极合作,以试图探索和促进正式政治体系内的渐进式变革。我们认为组织学者处于特权地位,可以调查政党今天的运作方式以及未来如何提高其民主潜力。为此,我们呼吁组织和管理研究与替代政党积极合作,以试图探索和促进正式政治体系内的渐进式变革。
