Dynamics of Organizational Practices and Identities
Dynamics of Organizational Practices and Identities
This chapter builds on the model of microfoundations elaborated in Chapter 4 to develop a model of how different kinds of social interaction — for example decision making, sense making, and collective mobilization — mediate between institutional logics and the dynamics of identities and practices within and across organizations. The chapter bridges the literature on institutional logics, practice, and organizational identity; it links the organization and institutional field levels of analysis. It develops two novel process models to conceptualize organizational identity and practices as the key conceptual linkages between institutional logics and intra-organizational processes. The models are recursive in that institutional logics shape organizational identities and practices and vice versa.
Keywords: decision making, sense making, collective mobilization, organizational identities, organizational practices, organizational field, institutional field, institutional logics, intra-organizational processes
