Item Some Unintended Consequences of Rigorous Research(Department of Administrative Sciences, Yale University, 1968) Argyris, ChrisThe article explores the unintended consequences of rigorous research methodologies by drawing parallels between the researcher's role and organizational management. The author identifies dysfunctional behaviors in research subjects, such as psychological withdrawal, covert hostility, and over-cooperation, which are influenced by the degree of control exercised by the researcher. This work highlights the systemic properties of research settings and their similarity to formal organizations, suggesting that adaptive strategies by subjects can mirror employee reactions in hierarchical structures.
