Upon its publication in 1962, this book became one of the founding
texts of organizational sociology. Bringing together diverse
approaches, it presented a new focus of interest: the formal
organization. Blau and Scott raised the level of analysis from
attention solely on individual participants and work groups to a
broader understanding of organizations as collective actors. In the
book, the authors reviewed multiple types of studies-including case
studies, experimental research, and surveys-and integrated them to
define new central themes. They used their own empirical studies of
two social welfare agencies to illustrate the ways in which varying
organizational contexts shape work group and participant attitudes
and activities. Formal Organizations served to integrate research
on both formal and informal systems, authority and leadership, and
stressed the importance of links to the wider environment. This
reissue, which includes a new introduction by Scott, makes this
seminal work accessible to a new generation of scholars and
practitioners.
