Abstract This single case study reports on the establishment of a multidisciplinary day care surgery at a Norwegian University Hospital utilising participating action research design principles drawn from sociotechnical theory. Data was collected through mixed methods including stakeholder analysis, document studies, observations of meetings, semi-structured interviews and participating group methods. The senior management at the hospital had decided to implement a department that diverged from organising around professional disciplines, and this decision evoked strong resistance among several professional groups in the first phases of this project. This case follows the implications of the decision to establish a multidisciplinary day care surgery through re-organising location, staff and management structures. The findings suggest that the hospital achieved the vision of creating an efficient multidisciplinary work environment, reducing the culture of tribalism between professions, and creating a work environment with a high degree of knowledge transfer. This case describes how action research can be used to reduce organisational silos and to improve multidisciplinary co-operation.

Abstract This article discusses aspects of a dialogue with artisan women during the production of their handicrafts. Our dialogical proposition builds on participant research studies conducted in Brazil since the 1960’s, to which feminist studies are added and mixed here. The article integrates two groups of female artisans who produced pieces, and simultaneously talked about their craft production processes and their daily experiences. We analyse the broad spectrum of accounts that emerges at the meetings, and the power of self-perception arising from the places of collective speech and listening. We conclude that the alternatives found for systematising the recorded findings provoked new reflections and the recognition, in scale, of other directions and derivations of research practice with poorly educated adult women.

Abstract This is not an ordinary article. It was written in response to some questions that the current and the former IJAR editors-in-chief asked us to reflect on. We did so gratefully, because this was a good opportunity to look back on 25 years of doing AR in organisations. The article describes four challenges of future organisational action research. Firstly, in the future an increasing number of skilled employees will make it necessary to move from co-influence of how to implement goals, to a greater degree of co-determination. Secondly, the article argues there is a need for an increased focus on documenting AR processes. Thirdly, the article calls for more selfcritical reflections on the concrete ways action researchers exercise power. Fourthly, questioning the possibilities of doing AR in organisations will become important in the future, due to socio-economic conditions such as lack of time. The article is based on a four-year research project that we carried out on various American and European approaches to action research in organisations in the 20th century. It includes, too, a description of our different personal ways into AR and some of the AR concepts we developed along the way. Keywords: organisational action research, participation, power, documentation of action research processes ----- ?La investigacion-accion organizacional tiene futuro? Resumen En realidad, este no es un articulo normal. Fue escrito en respuesta a algunas preguntas que el actual y el ex-editor de IJAR nos pidieron que reflexionemos. Lo hicimos con gratitud, porque esta fue una buena oportunidad para mirar hacia atras en los 25 anos de hacer IA en las organizaciones. El articulo describe cuatro desafios de la futura investigacion-accion organizacional. En primer lugar, en el futuro, un numero cada vez mayor de empleados calificados hara que sea necesario moverse de la co-influencia de como implementar las metas a un mayor grado de co-determinacion. En segundo lugar, el articulo argumenta que existe la necesidad de un mayor enfasis en la documentacion de los procesos de IA. En tercer lugar, el articulo hace un llamado a mas reflexiones autocriticas sobre las formas concretas en que los investigadores- accion ejercen el poder. En cuarto lugar, cuestionar las posibilidades de realizar IA en las organizaciones se volvera importante en el futuro debido a las condiciones socio-economicas como la falta de tiempo. El articulo se basa en un proyecto de investigacion de cuatro anos que llevamos a cabo sobre varios enfoques americanos y europeos para la investigacion- accion en organizaciones en el siglo XX.

这不是一篇普通的文章。这篇文章是针对IJAR现任和前任主编要求我们反思的一些问题而写的。我们感激地这样做了，因为这是一个回顾25年来在组织中做AR的好机会。文章描述了未来组织行动研究面临的四大挑战。首先，在未来，越来越多的熟练员工将有必要从如何实施目标的共同影响转变为更大程度的共同决定。其次，本文认为有必要更加关注AR过程的文档化。第三，本文呼吁对行动研究者行使权力的具体方式进行更多的自我批判反思。第四，由于缺乏时间等社会经济条件，质疑在组织中进行AR的可能性将在未来变得重要。这篇文章是基于一个为期四年的研究项目，该项目是我们对20世纪美国和欧洲在组织中进行行动研究的各种方法进行的。它还包括对我们进入AR的不同个人方式的描述，以及我们在此过程中开发的一些AR概念。关键词:组织行动研究，参与，权力，行动研究过程的文件----- ?在现实中，这是不正常的。本文描述了一种新的算法，它是由IJAR的前编辑didieronque refonemos编写的。我非常感谢，我们有机会在我们的25个组织中为我们提供了一个机会。本文描述了未来调查行动组织的具体情况。在初级阶段，在未来阶段，在未来的阶段，在未来的阶段，在未来的阶段，在未来的阶段，在未来的阶段，在共同影响的阶段，在共同实施的阶段，在共同决定的阶段，在未来的阶段，在共同决定的阶段。在第二章中，我们明确地论证了是否有必要在文件编制过程中提供必要的信息。在最近的一段时间里，我们发现了一种特殊的现象，一种反射性的现象，一种自动批评性的现象，一种特殊的现象，一种特殊的现象，一种特殊的现象。在此基础上，研究人员提出了实现这一目标的可能性，并提出了实现这一目标的可能性。根据《联合国宪章》的规定，联合国应根据《联合国宪章》和《联合国宪章》的规定，对联合国宪章进行调查，并根据《联合国宪章》的规定进行调查。其中包括对不同形式的新事物的描述，即通过algunos de los conceptos de IA que desarrollamos和lo largo del camino的概念。Palabras clave:调查行动的组织，参与，过程，文献调查行动的过程-----参考书目:Kristiansen, Marianne/Bloch-Poulsen, Jorgen:组织行动研究有未来吗?，《社会科学》，第3期，第1 - 4页。https://doi.org/10.3224/ijar.v15i3.02

In a first part the text brings the search of Latin America for its self-interpretation on the base of some selected authors like José Martí, José Vasconcelos, John Mackay and Richard Morse. In this trajectory, the concept people changed its meaning from a holistic to a more differentiated one, that supposes a cleavage between local elites and the socially dominated groups. In a second part the text argues that this new interpretation underlies the emerging of participatory research in Latin America, understood by its pioneers Carlos Rodrigues Brandão, Paulo Freire and Orlando Fals Borda primarily as a combination of research and political engagement in favor of the people defined as a collective of oppressed social groups struggling for its emancipation.

The article is written in the intersection of the fields of regional development and action research, which use different languages when referring to development. The first revolves around innovation revenues, market shares and competitiveness while the second focuses on emancipation, democratisation and empowerment. Based on an experience in Gipuzkoa, Basque Country (Spain), the case used in this paper tells us how a regional government, the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa and eleven county development agencies are collaborating in order to avoid small firms falling behind in digitalisation processes. The main argument is that action research can help construct collaborative governance modes which, as well as helping specific firms become competitive, empower territorial actors as a collective subject that decides on its own future.

This paper highlights three main points. Firstly, it argues that despite the positioning of mainstream psychology as “objective research” i.e. disengaged from taking action in public life, there has always been in psychology a (quantitatively) minor but (qualitatively) strong tradition of intervention, defined as a joint practice engaging researchers and practitioners in social transformation. It shows how this alternative way of doing research affects all dimensions of the researchers’ professional practice, for better or for worse. Secondly, it presents a specific perspective on intervention, created in France and used in multiple work settings in the last twenty years, called Clinic of Activity. It then introduces and discusses a methodology designed to support development at work through collaborative work analysis and structured dialogue, the Cross Self Confrontations. Thirdly, it reports on a research in Cross Self-Confrontations recently conducted in a Swiss factory, and shows how this methodology supports the co-creation of knowledge and the development of dialogue within a group of workers and across the hierachical lines, therefore contributing to the deep discussion and transformation of work practices.

From the perspective of sociology of work, the article “New Challenges for Action Research” raises the question: How can dependent employees in heteronomous employment relationships fulfill their elementary need for self-determination, if the progressive economisation of the working and living world shapes their consciousness and even their identities? If utilitarian calculi supersede empathy and solidarity everywhere, and everyone is called upon to become a successful manager of himself under the pressure of so-called “self-optimisation” (Subjectification trap)? Research in sociology of work and experiments in action research show how dependent workers can escape from the subjectification trap by engaging in processes of collective reflection, and so reactivate their capacity for active and democratic participation, and for self-determined designing their working conditions to regain the ability to act and the power to independently shape their working conditions. Finally, it is asked if and how this process is possible under conditions of digital work in platform economics.

One of the basic and for many, defining tenets of action research is contained in the “slogan” ascribed to Kurt Lewin: “In order to understand it, you have to change it”. The slogan clearly resembles what Francis Bacon claimed for experimental science, however, and also Karl Marx’ well known stance in his Feuerbach-theses. In this text I discuss this “change imperative” and relate it to its “pre-history” before action research. Most action researchers are not willing to subscribe to terms like “social engineering” but still call what they do for “interventions”. The text argues that what most people spontaneously think of as “change” may not be necessary for calling what is done for action research. Yet, the alternative is not to withdraw to a disengaged, spectator position. The change imperative raises important questions about what kind of change action research initiates, and what kind of knowledge results from different forms of change. The text challenges the “slogan” as to what kind of change is appropriate and legitimate in working with changes in individuals, culture, communities, and organisations, and suggests ways forward through developing forms of practitioner research and native or indigenous research. To illustrate, insights from Aristotle and Hegel are invoked. Action researchers are challenged to discuss and clarify answers to questions about what kind of change is produced, and what kind of knowledge is generated.

The paper explores alternative learning frameworks addressing the adaptation of socio-economic institutions to emerging technological paradigms. Based on workplace innovation and development programmes, an exploratory model is presented considering multi-level governance issues. The framework can contribute to better policy implementation of smart specialisation strategies, considering workplace innovation programmes as institutional entrepreneurs. In this sense the framework is applied, in a constructivist way, to regional, sub-regional and organisational institutional contexts.
