Cognitive Underpinnings of Institutional Persistence and Change: A Framing Perspective
整合前景理论、威胁-刚性假说与制度理论，探讨决策者如何将环境变化视为获取合法性的机会或威胁，从而影响制度的持续与变迁。
We integrate the predictions of prospect theory, the threat-rigidity hypothesis, and institutional theory to suggest how patterns of institutional persistence and change depend on whether decision makers view environmental shifts as potential opportunities for or threats to gaining legitimacy. We argue that in the event that decision makers face ambiguity in their reading of the environment, they initiate decoupled substantive and symbolic actions that simultaneously accommodate the predictions of prospect theory and the threat-rigidity hypothesis.
