Institutional Logics as Identity Projects
研究非创业者在日常身份工作中如何同时接纳和抵制新制度逻辑,以英国管理层和机构投资者对股东价值逻辑的回应为例,拓展了身份建构在制度化过程中的作用理论。
This study extends theory on the role of identity construction in institutionalization processes by exploring the role of everyday identity work by nonentrepreneurial actors in the reproduction and translation of new institutional logics. I analyze how management and institutional investors in the United Kingdom reworked their identity and practices in response to efforts by influential change agents to shape and control these based on the logic of shareholder value. This analysis identifies three ways in which actors, through everyday identity work, can paradoxically accommodate and resist the practice and identity implications of new institutional logics at the same time.
