Abstract

Summary Any organizations, pursuing their goals, they should take into account others, as they are compelled to a joint coexistence. In order to grow, they need plans and rules of conduct. But not always what was intended is actually implemented. That discrepancy is called decoupling. This phenomenon may be due to different levels of acceptance and implementation of rules, which is associated with the process of sensemaking and sensegiving. The first phenomenon involves the creation of meaning, where the new rule is not yet fully developed and understood, and so it must be properly interpreted only to implement the action. In this process, people give meaning to their experiences. If the process of creating a sense is successful, occurring practices are accepted by the members of the organization, and finally implemented. Sensegiving is about exerting influence in terms of the proper understanding of the rules, in order to create an appropriate definition of organizational reality. Moral attitude of employees may be important in minimizing the effect of negative attitudes associated with decoupling. Therefore, there is a need for constant training of employees in ethical issues. The aim of the article is to present the potential significance of sensemaking and sensegiving for decoupling, and explain the role of increasing ethical awareness for neutralizing decoupling resulting from conscious actions of organizational actors.

政策与实践之间的脱钩,透过意义建构与意义传递的镜头
任何组织在追求其目标时都应考虑到其他组织,因为它们被迫共同共存。为了成长,他们需要计划和行为准则。但并不是所有的目标都能实现。这种差异被称为脱钩。这种现象可能是由于不同程度的接受和执行规则,这与意义的过程和意义的给予有关。第一种现象涉及意义的创造,即新规则尚未完全发展和理解,因此必须对其进行适当的解释才能执行行动。在这个过程中,人们赋予他们的经历意义。如果创造一种感觉的过程是成功的,发生的实践就会被组织成员所接受,并最终实现。Sensegiving是指通过对规则的正确理解来施加影响,从而为组织现实创造一个合适的定义。员工的道德态度对于最小化与脱钩相关的负面态度的影响可能很重要。因此,有必要在道德问题上对员工进行持续的培训。本文的目的是呈现意义制造和意义赋予对脱钩的潜在意义,并解释提高伦理意识对中和由组织行为者有意识行为造成的脱钩的作用。
