WSR AN INSTITUTIONAL APPROACH TO ORGANISATION STUDIES

摘要

WSR is a conceptual framework developed from traditional Confucian teaching and contemporary management practice in China. In the framework, wuli concerns the actual material-regulative, shili emphasises the virtual psycho-cognitive, renli underscores the social moral-normative, spheres/processes of human life. Enforcing and transforming each other, W-S-R constitute dynamic institutional contexts (keti) that constrain and empower actors' (zhuti) purposeful strategic actions which in turn produce reconfiguring effects on those contexts.
