Explaining Stability and Change: The Rise and Fall of Logics in Pluralistic Fields
通过对荷兰公共就业服务的纵向案例研究，揭示了多元制度逻辑如何在组织领域中持续共存，并分析了负向选择和刻意模糊性如何驱动暂时稳定与持续变化。
Based on an in-depth, longitudinal case study involving the public employment services in the Netherlands, we provide a novel conceptual imagery of how pluralistic fields may evolve over time. Our study shows how multiple institutional logics remain in play after a dominant logic is settled in an organizational field. We uncover several factors that explain the process of temporary stability and change and focus especially on two factors — negative choice and deliberate ambiguity — that explain ongoing change. These factors solve the struggle between competing logics, but simultaneously sow the seeds for further subsequent change. This study contributes to the institutional logics perspective beyond competing logics to the study of how fields with plural logics evolve.
