Abstract :
This study examines the interconnectedness
between the field of Philosophy of Science and the
disciplines of Business Administration/Management,
with a specific focus on Organisational Behaviour and
Human Resource Management (HRM). The present
research, characterised by its fundamentally exploratory
nature, is organised into five distinct sections. The first
portion provides a comprehensive discussion of the
philosophy of science, with a particular emphasis on the
fields of epistemology and ontology. This discourse
centres on the philosophical aspects of business and
management, specifically delving into the philosophy of
organizational behaviour and human resource
management. Additionally, it explores the
interconnection between the philosophy of science and
the field of business administration and management.
Numerous scholarly investigations have demonstrated
the intricate linkages existing between the field of
philosophy of science and the disciplines of business
administration and management. Ontological
considerations provide the capacity to provide precise
theoretical explanations of human resource management
(HRM) initiatives by focusing on generative causal
mechanisms. Additionally, the epistemic complexity of
team members plays a crucial role in influencing the
outcomes of knowledge exchange within teams. Hence, it
is imperative for organisations to prioritise the
cultivation of employee relationships and provide
training for their knowledge workers in a manner that
fosters heightened information sharing. This approach
ultimately leads to improved team outcomes, as
epistemological philosophies are recognised to be
adaptable and acquired through valuable learning
experiences.
