Abstract Ambiculturalism, which is rooted in traditional Chinese philosophies and helps integrate the East-West management practice, has provided notable insights for organizational paradox studies. Based on ambicultural perspective, this paper focuses on the three aspects of fundamental paradigm divergence including organizational paradox emergence, organizational paradox address and organizational paradox evolution to identify and analyze the possibilities of multi-paradigm integration. It finds that organizational paradox can both emerge from perception and social construction simultaneously; contingent strategy and balance strategy can be both effective to paradox coping; positive organizational sustainability via paradox can not only originate from dynamic equilibrium feedback loop but also amplify deviation feedback loop.
