Structure! Agency! (And Other Quarrels): A Meta-Analysis Of Institutional Theories Of Organization
通过元分析技术，研究了组织行为是受社会结构还是组织能动性驱动、遵循制度规范是否提升绩效，以及组织场域因素如何影响同构过程，对制度理论研究者有参考价值。
We use meta-analytical techniques to address three central debates in institutional theory: Is organizational behavior the product of social structure or organizational agency? Does conformity to institutional norms enhance or diminish organizational performance? Can organizational field-level factors explain differences in the pull of isomorphic forces across organizational fields? We find that the influence of social structure is weak. Also, the adoption of isomorphic templates improves both symbolic and substantive performance. Finally, we identify several field-level factors that moderate isomorphic processes. We discuss the implications of these findings for institutional theory research.
