科学视角主义是在逻辑主义基础上发展的一种科学哲学思想,其核心思想在于强调科学知识的条件性。本文分析了现行的管理研究范式,探讨了引入科学视角主义的动机及可行策略。目前管理学界流行的研究范式是:强调研究的理论基础、偏爱验证性研究、追求研究结果的统计意义显著。研究者为了迎合这些要求,可能会采取一些有问题的研究行为。而这些行为的一个严重后果是:现有的管理知识库中,充斥着大量假阳性研究结果,这对管理学的发展无疑是不利的。本文分析了上述研究范式的科学哲学思想根源,指出逻辑主义对这一研究范式的影响甚深,论证了以科学视角主义为指导思想进行管理研究,一方面有助于减少有问题的研究行为,另一方面也可以破除目前管理研究忽视假设条件与情境因素的弊病。
