Description

In this Element, we examine how organizational researchers have published articles contributing to organization theory in high quality organizational journals, and we examine how healthcare researchers have drawn on organization theory in healthcare management journals.

We have two main aims in writing this Element. The first is to motivate scholars working in the field of general organizational and management studies to increasingly use healthcare settings as an empirical context for their work in theory development.

Our second aim is to encourage healthcare researchers to increase their use of organizational theory to advance knowledge about the provision of healthcare services.

Our investigations revealed a growing number of organizational studies situated in healthcare.

We also found a disappointing level of connection between research published in organization journals and research published in healthcare journals.

We provide explanations for this division, and encourage more crossdisciplinary work in the future.
