组织美学从美学角度体验和解读组织生活,关注组织中的物质和物质实践如何通过激发个体的感官反应来产生知识。以往的管理学研究以理性主义范式为主导,重点关注组织实用性的角度,忽视了个体对组织物质环境的情感和认知反应。近年来,越来越多学者从美学角度讨论物质引发的心理感受及其对组织行为的影响。本文通过追踪组织美学的理论和实证文献,对该领域的发展过程和主要研究对象进行了总结梳理,发现大部分研究聚焦于以下四类研究对象:(1)空间实践;(2)个性化物件与符号展示;(3)服饰管理;(4)工作工具与产品使用。其次,本文根据美学原理中主体的审美体验过程构建了系统的研究框架,探究组织美学中的“动力机制—反应机制—作用结果”,并进一步分析了组织美学的研究方法。最后,本文展望了如何从新理论、新情境和新方法的角度更深入地研究组织美学,呼吁理论界和实践界关注组织美学的重要价值,构建美好和谐的组织生态环境,借以推动组织的可持续发展。
