This article seeks to open up new possibilities for process organization studies to reimagine power and performativity by exploring the potential of Mary Parker Follett’s pragmatism as process philosophy. I revisit her body of work to show how she translated her process ontology into theoretical resources and practical insights that allow for new ways of understanding power and performativity together and explore them as mutually constituting processes of organizing. In particular, I mobilize Follett’s view of conflicts as emerging differences in the world and frictions as constructive conflicts with the potential to generate something new in order to introduce and conceptualize ‘performative power’, that is, the power emerging from relating and integrating differences in organizational situations that are experienced as frictions by people involved. Drawing on my ethnographic study of an entrepreneurship accelerator – a training programme for innovators and start-up projects – I discuss and illustrate empirically how performative power is generated from frictions that arise in ordinary lived experiences. This conceptualization of performative power is an attempt to develop a processual and performative understanding of power, and a useful lens to conduct process research. Making a connection between performative power and the experience of frictions provides a new way to see, talk and study processually power in contemporary organizations.

摩擦的表现力和新的可能性:用福莱特的实用主义研究力量、表现力和过程。

本文旨在通过探索 Mary Parker Follett 的实用主义作为过程哲学的潜力,为过程组织研究开辟新的可能性,以重新想象权力和表演性。我重新审视了她的作品,以展示她如何将她的过程本体论转化为理论资源和实践见解,从而允许以新的方式来理解权力和表演性,并将它们作为相互构成的组织过程进行探索。特别是,我动员福莱特将冲突视为世界上正在出现的差异,将摩擦视为具有产生新事物潜力的建设性冲突,以引入和概念化“执行力”,即,将组织情境中的差异联系起来并加以整合,这些差异被相关人员体验为摩擦。借鉴我对创业加速器的人种学研究——一个针对创新者和初创项目的培训计划——我讨论并实证地说明了如何从日常生活经历中出现的摩擦中产生执行力。这种对执行力的概念化是尝试发展对权力的过程性和执行性理解,以及进行过程研究的有用镜头。将执行力与摩擦经验联系起来,提供了一种新的方式来看待、讨论和研究当代组织中的过程性权力。借鉴我对创业加速器的人种学研究——创新者和初创项目的培训计划——我讨论并实证地说明了如何从日常生活经历中出现的摩擦中产生执行力。这种对执行力的概念化是尝试发展对权力的过程性和执行性理解,以及进行过程研究的有用镜头。将执行力与摩擦经验联系起来,提供了一种新的方式来看待、讨论和研究当代组织中的过程性权力。借鉴我对创业加速器的人种学研究——一个针对创新者和初创项目的培训计划——我讨论并实证地说明了如何从日常生活经历中出现的摩擦中产生执行力。这种对执行力的概念化是尝试发展对权力的过程性和执行性理解,以及进行过程研究的有用镜头。将执行力与摩擦经验联系起来,提供了一种新的方式来看待、讨论和研究当代组织中的过程性权力。这种对执行力的概念化是尝试发展对权力的过程性和执行性理解,以及进行过程研究的有用镜头。将执行力与摩擦经验联系起来,提供了一种新的方式来看待、讨论和研究当代组织中的过程性权力。这种对执行力的概念化是尝试发展对权力的过程性和执行性理解,以及进行过程研究的有用镜头。将执行力与摩擦经验联系起来,提供了一种新的方式来看待、讨论和研究当代组织中的过程性权力。
