Living systems theories have been used to model human, organization, and communication processes. This paper attempts to describe these models and to highlight the isomorphisms among the models. Particular emphasis is given to self-regulating properties of humans as a subsystem of social systems. Attention is given to the advantages of generalizing across levels and phenomena and integrating the middle-range theories that dominate the field of organizational behavior. Three broad recommendations for future research are discussed.
生命系统理论已被用于对人类、组织和沟通流程进行建模。本文试图描述这些模型,并突出各模型之间的同构性。特别强调了人类作为社会系统子系统的自我调节特性。关注了跨层次和现象进行概括以及整合主导组织行为领域的中程理论的优势。讨论了对未来研究的三项广泛建议。
