ABSTRACT
From the earliest studies in organizational sociology to the present day, the decisive interaction between nature and society has gained undeniable significance. Initially assessed in an analogical context, the relationship between nature and society has gradually been recognized as exhibiting an organic connection beyond mere analogy. For this reason, this study focuses on the strong impact of the relationship between nature and society in shaping the basic theories of organizational sociology. Because this center underlines the necessity of taking into account the new relationships to be established based on new information about nature and society when analyzing existing forms of organization from a sociological perspective. Additionally, examining the context of this influence will demonstrate the importance of the nature-society duality in the organization of theories and paradigms throughout the history of organizational sociology. In this regard, this examination is delimited within the analogy of biology and sociology to highlight the aforementioned dualism in the organization theory literature. The relevant delimitation and analyses have been addressed by dividing them into historical sections to facilitate the tracking of the theoretical discussion. Consequently, the study focuses on examining the natural and social scientific influences that have played a role in the development of organizational theories from the early 20th century to the present. This focus aims to lay a foundation for new discussions and analyses in the field by highlighting the determining power of the analogical and organic relationship between nature and society within the realm of organizational sociology.
