An Embodied Study On The Nature Of Work Field And Its Manifestation

All of the employees' activities and behavior in organization must rely on specific work field.With the Internet era's coming,the ratio of creative work increase rapidly,and the importance of those works is far more than the routine works,which makes manager pay more attention to the design of the organization's "work field".For example,many Internet companies imitate Google to create a semi open office,create better organizational atmosphere.But most corporates' transformation of the work field becomes a mere formality,and employees do not feel satisfied or motivated.The reason comes from managers' limitation understanding of the essence and mechanism of work field and trapped in the adjustment theory of work environment.They think that work field is simply-the physical environment or the sum of objective factors,as "stimulus" one work field factor,corresponding"reaction" of employee behavior will show out.But the adjustment theory cannot explain phenomenon like organization members' job craft behavior to shape the work field,being involved in a common emotional state,and individuals with different cognitive characteristics would form consistent behavior style in work field.Constructivism of work field emphasizes the interaction between employees and the work context,which means that behavior,cognition and meaning are socially and culturally constructed during the interaction.However,under the view of work field constructivism,Lewin's field theory and Nonaka "ba" theory did not fully reveal the nature of the work field and its manifestation.Therefore,this paper takes a perspective from Hermann Schmitz's New Phenomenology as the breakthrough point of the study,and uncovers the nature and the manifestation of work field.The main conclusions of this paper are as follows:Work field is a place where the phenomenological body of organization members can interact with each other,with characteristics of constructivism,integrality and dynamics.Work field would hierarchically effect on the common body,common emotion,common cognitive and common behavior of organization members.
