Dissertation
Social Organization and the Structure of Coginition
The research examined the relationship between social structural
arrangements in organizations and members’ subsequent cognitive
orientation and behavior. The site of the research was a group of
restaurants in New York City. In collecting data, I spent one year as a
participant-observer, moving between particular restaurants in the
target group. The study revealed that organizational members
developed distinctive cognitive orientations that consistently directed
their attention to particular features of their organizational
environments and generated uniform vocabularies and behavioral
responses. These local vocabularies and responses were the result of
communication patterns that emerged from broad formal
organizational arrangements including the division of labor, the
arrangement of the physical plant, and scheduling.
