My work embraces two fields: organisational research and philosophy (focus on action theory and phil of science).
In the field of organisational research I am focused mainly on theory building, organisation theory (OMT) and organisational psychology (IOP, OB), with a special stress on routines, capabilities and micro-foundations of Organisational Behavior. My approach to these topics remains within the bounded resources paradigm. I also work on theory building drawing strongly from the philosophy of science and knowledge management.
I recently completed a research project: Intentionality of organizational routines sponsored by the National Science Centre Poland, (Grant No. 2018/29/B/HS4/01824). The agenda allowed my team to produce a few articles published in top-tier journals (not only in the field of management, but also in philosophy).
In the terrain of action theory, I draw inspirations from various fields – from the philosophy of science, history of philosophy of action (Kotarbiński, Davidson) through theories of rationality, reasons for action and decision theory to cognitive and social psychology. Highlighted themes are: effectiveness, intentions/planning, automaticity, cooperation, resource-boundedness. I also explore issues related to mechanistic explanations.
I also cooperate with philosophers. I recently contributed to the project Semantic and epistemological aspects of ostension: from demonstrating procedures to exploitation of the context of utterance (NCN Grant No. 2018/29/B/HS1/01868) directed by Tadeusz Ciecierski. My role in the project was to provide the action-theoretical support in developing some ideas related to demonstrations.
