From Practice to Field: A Multilevel Model of Practice-Driven Institutional Change
构建了一个实践驱动的制度变迁模型,解释个体日常工作中的即兴发挥如何引发场域层面的逻辑转变,并阐述了变迁从产生、合理化到扩散的具体机制。
This article develops a model of practice-driven institutional change—or change that originates in the everyday work of individuals but results in a shift in field-level logic. In demonstrating how improvisations at work can generate institutional change, we attend to the earliest moments of change, which extant research has neglected; and we contrast existing accounts that focus on active entrepreneurship and the contested nature of change. We outline the specific mechanisms by which change emerges from everyday work, becomes justified, and diffuses within an organization and field, as well as precipitating and enabling dynamics that trigger and condition these mechanisms.
