 The concept was introduced to organizational studies by Karl E. Weick in the 1970s and has affected both theory and practice.Weick intended to encourage a shift away from the traditional focus of organization theorists on decision-making and towards the processes that constitute the meaning of the decisions that are enacted in behavior.In 1966, Daniel Katz and Robert L. Kahn published "The Social Psychology of Organizations" (Katz & Kahn, 1966).
