Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to discuss artifacts and how they influence the performative scheme of the routine and human agency. Artifacts emerge from a heterogeneous network of technical and social elements, which implies assuming that they strongly influence the performance of a routine and the organizing.

Design/methodology/approach

This essay starts from an established theoretical framework to develop reflections and propose that the artifacts entangle part of organizational knowledge and that the artifact's role is structured by their enactment in performing a routine, which gives them meaning and a sense of purpose.

Findings

The propositions contribute to theoretical and empirical advances by offering new insights for analysing the role of artifacts in routine dynamics. The main arguments presented are about (i) the existence of a potential role and a performed role for artifacts, (ii) that the artifacts' role evolves from knowledge and know-how embedded in routines and their actants and (iii) that artifacts are connected through networks of routines, and they embed a vast repertoire of knowledge and expertise.

Originality/value

Also, it proposes a fruitful research agenda based on the main reflections. Finally, the thoughts presented open a pandora's box to reflect on the intertwining between human and artifacts, not just in organizing but also in everyday social life.

常规动力与社会物质性:对技术人工制品及其作用的见解
本文旨在讨论人工制品及其如何影响例行工作的执行计划和人的能动性。人工制品产生于技术和社会元素的异质网络,这意味着假定人工制品对例行公事的执行和组织有很大影响。本文从既定的理论框架出发进行反思,并提出人工制品包含组织知识的一部分,而人工制品的作用是由它们在执行例行公事时的行为决定的,这赋予了它们意义和目的感。研究结果这些命题为分析人工制品在例行公事动态中的作用提供了新的见解,从而推动了理论和经验的进步。提出的主要论点涉及:(i) 人工制品存在潜在作用和已发挥的作用;(ii) 人工制品的作用是由常规及其行为者所蕴含的知识和诀窍演变而来的;(iii) 人工制品通过常规网络连接在一起,它们蕴含着大量的知识和专业技能。最后,所提出的想法打开了一个潘多拉盒子,让我们思考人与人工制品之间的交织,不仅是在组织过程中,而且在日常社会生活中。
