This study challenges fixed assumptions in process research, proposing a transactional framework for a more holistic understanding of change. This integrated model enhances both theory-driven and discovery-oriented research strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Process research
  • Systems theory
  • Organizational behavior

Background:

  • Current process research often assumes variables have fixed meanings and discrete contributions.
  • These assumptions limit understanding due to the contextual boundedness of process variables.
  • A decontextualized evaluation of variable worth is insufficient.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To question implicit assumptions in current process research.
  • To propose a new conceptual framework from a systemic perspective.
  • To integrate theory-driven and discovery-oriented research strategies.

Main Methods:

  • A systemic perspective is adopted.
  • A cyclical, ecologically oriented model is suggested.
  • Integration of experiments, observations, and detailed descriptions.

Main Results:

  • A transactional conception of change processes is introduced, viewing them as mutually defining.
  • This leads to holistic examinations of both changes of pattern and patterns of change.
  • The framework supports an integrated approach to research strategies.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed transactional core serves as a foundation for both theory-driven and discovery-oriented research.
  • This model encourages a more dynamic and context-aware approach to process studies.
  • Holistic examination of change processes is crucial for deeper insights.
