A Philosophical Explanation of Mechanical and Chaos Approach to Organizational Theory With an Islamic Philosophy Approach to Organizational Theory

Author

Abstract

Mechanical and chaos models in Physics have been accompanied by the systematic and anti-systematic approaches in organizational studies. A systematic organization, regards order as an original fact and attempts to develop theories to create or promote it. In contrast, an anti-systematic organization regards disorder as a fact and constructs its theories based on it.
This article provides a philosophical explanation of manipulating the mechanical and chaos approaches in organizational studies.
Finally, the possibility of developing another organizational theory, with an Islamic Philosophy view, has been analyzed. The author believes that linear explanation of existence hierarchy, after which the knowledge hierarchy forms, provides a deeper view of order in the world and specifies a prominent position for spirituality in organizational studies.
