Stewart Clegg (born 1947, Bradford) is a British-born Australian sociologist and organizational theorist, and a professor at the School of Project Management, University of Sydney.
Stewart has also acted as consultant to international newspapers, such as the British Sunday Times and the Australian Financial Review, for whom he has devised the methodology for their "Power Lists", as well as to universities, business firms, and health services.
The episodic circuit is the micro level and is constituted of irregular exercise of power as agents address feelings, communication, conflict, and resistance in day-to-day interrelations.
The dispositional circuit is constituted of macro level rules of practice and socially constructed meanings that inform member relations and legitimate authority.
To give a sense of how this model works, Clegg applies it to Crozier's[8] study of a tobacco factory in France where maintenance workers modified the plant equipment.
He has also held positions at universities in Scotland; Australia, England, France, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Brazil, Canada, Mexico and the United States.
The honorary doctorate was awarded for his scientific output which has far-reaching multidisciplinary content characterized by the ambition to place organization and management theory in a wider social science context all the while setting out from a critical and reflecting view.
