Multiple Institutional Logics in Organizations: Explaining Their Varied Nature and Implications
针对组织中多重制度逻辑的混乱研究现状,提出一个框架,按逻辑兼容性和逻辑中心性对组织分类,并解释这些类型如何影响内部冲突等结果,为学者厘清概念并指引未来研究。
Multiple institutional logics present a theoretical puzzle. While scholars recognize their increasing prevalence within organizations, research offers conflicting perspectives on their implications, causing confusion and inhibiting deeper understanding. In response, we propose a framework that delineates types of logic multiplicity within organizations, and we link these types with different outcomes. Our framework categorizes organizations in terms of logic compatibility and logic centrality and explains how field, organizational, and individual factors influence these two dimensions. We illustrate the value of our framework by showing how it helps explain the varied implications of logic multiplicity for internal conflict. By providing insight into the nature and implications of logic multiplicity within organizations, our framework and analysis synthesize the extant literature, offer conceptual clarity, and focus future research.
