- Title
THE SOCIAL ACTION APPROACH TO INDUSTRIAL SOCIOLOGY: A REPLY TO DANIEL.
- Authors
GOLDTHORPE, JOHN H.
- Abstract
The article discusses remarks made by management scientist W.W. Daniel on the application of a social action frame of reference in industrial sociology. The author feels that Daniel's treatment contains a variety of confusions and errors which largely stem from excessively seeking critical effect. Daniel's argument, it is noted, suggests a lack of appreciation of the nature of the interplay between theory and research in developments within scientific undertakings. The author admonishes Daniel for attacking the social action approach in industrial sociology based on research methods and techniques used by its exponents and then substantiating this criticism by referencing the Luton research.
