Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The question about the object of organizational studies (OS) calls for a comprehensive look at its reality conceived from its nature and from its social and natural contexts. This object has historically been dominated, theoretically and in practice, by a positivist-functionalist vision that has deprived decision-makers of a full understanding of the perverse effects of economic, financial and technological progress. Professional education based mainly on the efficient operation of organizations does not provide a framework for reflection on the consequences on social and natural life. Today, the world is in a state of widespread crisis as a result of the lack of control of the forces behind progress (Jermier & Forbes, 2003; Newton, 2009), calling urgently for global action in order to reverse its undesirable effects on almost all aspects of life. Consequently, this paper presents two proposals: an epistemological (and ontological) one for a greater understanding of the object of OS and a greater awareness of the effects of administrative actions, and a pedagogical approach aimed at expanding the interpretive capacity of professionals (as an expected impact of this article) for the sake of a higher level of social and environmental commitment of organizational decision-makers.
