摘要
管理学研究中部分概念表述存在与管理实践脱钩的风险,且用词规范不能完全依靠简单翻译和术语库来实现。鉴于此:首先,基于文本诠释学,构建了一个真理性(文本翻译、文本解构)-有效性(文本内涵转变、管理学科情境)的分析框架,用以客观辨析具有争议的文本概念。然后,以管理学研究中“领导谦逊还是谦卑?”为例演绎了该分析框架,在相关历史情境中深入比较“谦卑”和“谦逊”用以形容领导的合理程度,以及二词与“leader humility”内涵的匹配程度,得出了“领导谦逊而非谦卑”的结论。
Abstract
There exists a risk that some conceptual expressions in management research may become disconnected with management practice, as the precise specification of wording cannot be fully realized through simple translations and terminology databases. Texts can be translated into different languages and continuously endowed with meanings, allowing readers to understand life and achieve self-understanding and self-shaping through the world of the text. Based on textual hermeneutics, an analytical framework of factualness (including the perspectives of text translation and text deconstruction) and validity (including the perspectives of text connotation transformation and management discipline), is constructed to objectively analyze and distinguishing the controversial textual concepts. It takes leader humility in management as an example and deduces the above analytical framework. By reviewing the historical contexts of the introduction and influence of Christianity in modern China, this paper deeply compares the rationality of using Qianbei and Qianxun to describe leaders, and assesses the degree of match between the above two terms and leader humility. The conclusion is drawn that humility is the more appropriate to be translated into Qianxun rather than Qianbei when it used to describe leaders in Chinese language, especially in Chinese management context. The article provides a potential pathway for concept distinction in subsequent management research, and helps readers achieve self-awareness and self-shaping through conceptual texts.
