Nowadays, modern society is called organization society. As economic value have penetrated into social systems beyond just remaining in economic sectors, economizing organization has been vitally pervasive in that society. Therefore the above apprehension is unmistakably true of economizing organization in theory and practice; dualized recognition of organization, such as organization vs. individual and individual vs. individual; the instrumental view over individuals; positivism and behavioral approaches; organizational knowledge for controlling purpose.
With the premise of non-democratic values in modern organization theory, this study is activated by the conviction that the knowledge is essentilly for human beings, and by the expectation of probability of solving problems of that theory by Husserl's phenomenology. The purposes of this study theoretically approached are, in the light of epistemological concern, to point and criticize the problems in modern organization theory and to seek a new orientation of organization theory based on phenomenological perspective.
As for the dehumanized epistemology-organizational reification, dualism, and struturaism, and hierarchy-in modern organization theory, its problems were raised phenomenologically criticized. The critical analysis was based on the phenomenological epistemology, subjectivity and experientialism.
The subjective process above is realized in lived experience. With no experience, the explication falls into metaphysically trap not different from subjectivism. The region of such process has a reality only in experience. Now that the conscious acts happen through life-world which is a field of experience orienting the acta to specific meaning, the world and its meaning are intially in experience; the acts are experiental. Objects have specfic meaning constituted in experience. So far as I subjcetivity experiences of the reality, acts are truthfully immanent acts of consciousness.
Even if organization theory wishes to be empirical, it cannot be conceived as a study of prtatively objective realities or of our subjective impressions of them in organization. And experiental is more than empirical. It has to be, first and foremost, theory of individual experiences whose subjectivie and objective correlates are intelligible from the perspective of those experiences. The object in organization cannat given in perception; an existing entity is mysteriously conveyed to our awareness. It can be only constituted in an intentional systhesis. It is beingas consciousness. Finally, subject matter in organization theory is not the Cartesian object, but the essence of consciousness shown in organization life.
