| Abstract: | Contemporary scholars seem to have little connection to the heritage of Max Weber's contributions to the early development of organizational theory. This article probes the dynamics of Weberian organizational theory scholarship from mid-century to the present and examines how shifts in research orientation have facilitated Weber's apparent fall from grace. The study draws from a dataset of all articles published in the Administrative Science Quarterly between 1956 and 2002 to track shifts in Weber citation patterns and three streams of Weberian-inspired organizational research: intraorganizational, social organization and organization-environment relations. |
