Developing Scientific Approaches to the Study of the Organization

Abstract

The complexity of the organization as an object of study, due to the human presence as the main element, makes it impossible to study its essence and features within the same scientific approach. There is no theory that would fully encompass all the types, kinds, forms of organizational structures and processes that occur in them. A variety of interpretations that reflect a wide range of generally accepted ideas contributes to the research and understanding of the organization, but at the same time actualizes the need for additional analysis and generalization for a deep understanding of the term, which is the purpose of the presented article. With the help of the historical method, methods of morphological and content analysis, scientific approaches to the study of the organization are generalized and systematized, their content is disclosed in connection with the object, instrumentarium and the result of the study. The necessity of studying the organization as a system and a process to reflect the range of interconnections, dependencies and coherences is substantiated. Taking into account the multifactorial nature of the organization, the expediency of applying an integrated approach to its study is proved, the possibility of using a traditional set of research methods with purposeful adaptation in accordance with the object and subject of research leading to their modification is specified. Paying attention to the fact that the value of knowledge lies in the extent to which their effective use in purposeful activities be possible, the need for the study of the organization of close interconnection and constructive interaction of scientific and practical activities is substantiated, because they provide a methodological basis for the practical application of the acquired knowledge and skills. Prospects for further research are the application of these approaches to the study of the essence of a competent organization, defining the features of its formation and functioning, adapting them to specific relevant tasks.
