Abstract Notwithstanding empirical evidence that combining ethics and compliance into one function or programme is likely to erode an ethical culture in organisations, the praxis coalesce conceptually structurally remains attractive continues many organisations. Drawing on systems psychodynamic theory, this study enquires unconscious complexities drivers may contribute adverse consequences when compliance. Whereas previous research demonstrates dominates because of self‐regulation issues, provides deeper insight why happens. On explicating dynamics underlie apparent lure combination, it becomes clear its repress anxieties, maintain phantasies, provide psychological comfort. In recognising role decision combine thereof, cognition combination outcomes moved beyond a conscious rational process. This elucidates commanding opposing forces potentially at play decision. Insights could lessen by prompting organisations think as unconsciously motivated systemic processes require sincere consideration before pursuing them.

Theory is at the very heart of organizational scholarship and a key criterion for evaluating quality contribution our research. Focusing on conceptual rather than empirical work, this editorial essay highlights wide range forms that theorizing might take – how it, in consequence, materializes different types theory papers. Next to propositional form building, which has so far dominated reflections literature, we discuss particularities process, configurational, perspectival, meta-theorizing, as well various critique. We demonstrate these differ terms their aims, style reasoning, contributions, way they are written up In view roles each serve, propagate, line with ethos Organization Theory, pluralistic stance when it comes advancing organization studies.

Algorithms are ubiquitous in modern organizations. Typically, researchers have viewed algorithms as self-contained computational tools that either magnify organizational capabilities or generate unintended negative consequences. To overcome this limited understanding of stable entities, we propose two moves. The first entails building on a performative perspective to theorize entangled, relational, emergent, and nested assemblages use theories—and the sociomaterial networks they invoke—to automate decisions, enact roles expertise, perform calculations. second move our dynamic how evolve across contexts over time. end, introduce biographical which traces their evolution by focusing key “biographical moments.” We conclude discussing performativity-inspired can help management organization scholars better understand decision-making, spread technologies logics, dynamics practices routines.

As organizations seek more adaptive workforces, they are increasingly embracing "deconstructed" jobs as an alternative to traditional jobs. In these emerging work structures, broken down into tasks and projects, matched with the knowledge, skills, abilities of workers in internal labor market. Despite burgeoning popularity job deconstruction a new organizing paradigm—a supposed panacea for rigid their entrenched employees—our article challenges this oversimplified view. We identify several interdependent, persistent paradoxes inherent deconstructed jobs, examine how can navigate consequences. balancing human side deconstruction, we propose way forward that brings workers' experiences discussion, advocating guardrails shield while facilitating productive outcomes mitigating potential adverse impacts. conclude by suggesting key directions future research on important frontier study organizations.

Organization Theory is an academic journal dedicated to the development and dissemination of novel theory in domain organizational scholarship. At same time, increasing chorus scholars have advocated for “impact”—broadly defined as producing societal benefit beyond realm academia. In this editorial, we question implicit dichotomy between theory, on one hand, impact, other, critically explore notion impactful theory. Rather than seeing inherently opposed celebrate elucidate a meaningful way achieve impact. Specifically, unpack apparent oxymoron articulate seven distinct pathways whereby can be impactful. We close by outlining several critical questions, both individual our collective community, well future research directions.

Research on organisational storytelling has shed light different types of narratives. A specific story type, myths, caught the interest some scholars in field, but not been theorised any great detail. While it is rarely disputed that members can and do develop emotional connections to myths mythical stories their social context, how why these or ‘sacred stories’, emerge settings remained mostly unaddressed. Therefore, drawing upon a Jungian psychosocial approach, we propose process model for emergence mythologised organisations by situating members’ psychological dynamics within context which they emerge. We conscious understanding conditions lead help clarify deepen relationship between support sustain change development. The paper contributes existing literature studies.

Technique is defined as "the totality of methods rationally arrived at having absolute efficiency . in every field human activity" society (1964: xxv, italics added). More than simply 'machine technology', technique involves rational pursuit standardized means or practices attaining predetermined results.
