Interlevel Influences on the Reconstruction of Professional Role Identity
研究制度、组织和个体三个层面如何共同影响专业角色身份的重构，发现制度环境通过提供解释、合法化和物质资源来促进或限制个体的能动性。
Research on roles and identities generally represents a micro perspective that does not account for the reconstruction of professional role identity, owing to insufficient attention to institutional forces. We trace institutional influences on professional role identity reconstruction and extend theory by building bridges across institutional, organizational, and individual levels of analysis. Findings indicate that agentic reconstruction of professional role identity is enabled and constrained by an institutional environment that provides interpretive, legitimating, and material resources that professionals adopt and adapt. Institutional forces also impact organizational arrangements that further influence microlevel agency. We elaborate interactions among these three levels of analysis.
