Abstract
The field of Organizational Behavior owes some of its major theoretical challenges to the legacy of dichotomies handed down from the social sciences (micro-macro, agency-structure, subjective-objective, etc.). These are manifested in our field as fundamental problem areas regarding ontology and epistemology. In this paper, we explore one such area, the logical positivist philosophy that has dominated research through its influence on various anti-realist perspectives such as methodological individualism. After discussing the origins and limitations of this view, we explain why realism offers a more promising philosophical context for scholarly research.
