Abstract
Theory-focused research, portrayed as an exercise in sense making that is driven by curiosity rather than compassion, outsider rather than insider views, divergent rather than convergent thinking, and knowledge growth by extension rather than intention, is contrasted with problem-focused research. A research agenda for organizational behavior, written from a theory-focused perspective, illustrates how the perspective is actualized.Keywords
