| Abstract: | Are there shared cognitive structures (scripts) underlying common organizational events? Linguistics and social cognition were used to fashion a framework for the interpretation of videotaped appraisal interviews, which were coded via speech act analysis and then computer-mapped to create a graphic display of each appraisal interaction. This process revealed a common behavioural script, which implied the existence of a consensual cognitive script for enacting the appraisal interviews. The findings of this study are contrasted with a companion study (Gioia and Sims 1986), which was based not on an "interpretive", but on a "positivist" paradigm. The comparison reveals convergent and divergent facets and some rules for paradigm selection. |
