個人與社會的關係多數是透過“組織”這個框架進行的，社會學的研究也可以視為對組織行為或組織制度，以及個人與組織活動的研究。隨著現代化與全球化的發展，資訊科技與專業分工使得現代組織更加複雜。本學期將針對組織社會學進行研讀，期能了解在組織社會學領域各理論的論述重點及其不足之處，以及各理論之間的論辨，做為未來研究的參考。
本學期研讀的範圍包括傳統的正式組織，也就是韋伯的科層組織，以及20世紀初期的管理理論學派，到二次大戰之後，以Merton為首的哥倫比亞學派，有Peter Blau, Alvin Gouldner, Philip Selznick等人，對於科層制度的功能研究；另外則有卡內基梅隆學派，包括Herbert Simon, James March等人提出“有限理性”概念來研究組織行為。到了70年代主要研究在組織與環境的關係，有許多重要的理論都是在這時期提出，例如：新制度學派、組織生態學、資源依賴理論、組織學習理論等，使組織社會學與其他學科，如政治學、經濟學、管理學、心理學等等產生許多影響。90年代組織社會學的重心轉到社會網絡學派，包括Mark Granovetter的經濟行動與社會結構，以及Ronald Burt的結構洞分析。
與其他社會學領域相較，組織社會學有發展分明的理論歷史，而且是跨學科領域，應用性極強的學科，重視所提出理論是否能夠解釋具體的組織現象，對於現代社會組織研究提供契機。Most of the relationship between individuals and society is conducted through the framework of "organization". Social research can also be seen as research on organizational behavior or organizational system, as well as personal and organizational activities. With the development of modernization and globalization, information technology and professional division of labor have made modern organizations more complex. During this period, we will study organizational society, and we will understand the arguments and shortcomings of each theories in the organizational society field, as well as the arguments between them, and as references for future research.
The scope of study during this period included traditional formal organizations, namely Veber's scientific organization, and the management theory school in the early 20th century. After the Second War, the Colombian school led by Merton included Peter Blau, Alvin Gouldner, Philip Selznick et al., Research on the function of scientific systems; in addition, the Carnegie Mellon school, including Herbert Simon, James March, etc., proposed the concept of "finite rationality" to study organizational behavior. In the 1970s, the relationship between organization and environment was mainly studied. Many important theories were proposed during this period, such as: new institutional school, organizational genesis, resource-based theories, organizational learning theory, organizational learning theory, etc., so that organizational social science and other subjects were made , such as politics, economy, management, psychology, etc., have many impacts. In the 1990s, the focus of organizational social sciences shifted to social networking schools, including Mark Granovette’s economic actions and social structures, and Ronald Burt’s structural analysis.
Compared with other social fields, organizational society has a clear theoretical history of development, and is a trans-school field with strong application. It emphasizes whether theories proposed can explain specific organizational phenomena and provide a mechanism for modern social organizational research. .
