Still Organizational Isomorphism : Searching for an Alternative = 조직다형성에 대한 개념 틀 구축

국문 초록 (Abstract)

사회학 계열 신제도주의의 초기연구들은 조직 장안에 존재하는 개별조직들이 같은 제도라도 다르게 설계하고 운영함에 따라 나타나는 조직다형성을 설명하는데 한계를 노출하여왔다. 따라서 본 연구는 조직동형성 대신에 다형성을 설명할 수 있는 개념적 틀을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구는 우선 조직동형성을 제도환경, 제도화 및 동형성의 유형과 동기를 중심으로 이론적으로 검토한 후 환경에 대한 개념화, 분석 수준 및 조직과 환경간의 관계 등 세 가지 차원에서 조직동형성 이론의 공헌과 한계를 분석하였다. 이어서 동형성 이론의 대안으로서 다형성을 설명하고자 복수제도논리, 조직위치 및 조직신념체계 등세 가지 맥락적 변수들로 구성되어 있는 통합적인 개념 틀을 제시하였다. 마지막으로, 제시된 틀이 지니는 함의와 한계에 대한 논의하였다.

Early studies in the sociological stream of new institutionalism lacked considering in-field variation of why they had different institutional designs, which they operated in varying ways. In this context, this paper aims at suggesting a conceptual framework to account for organizational polymorphism rather than organizational isomorphism. The paper starts with theoretically discussing organizational isomorphism, and devotes to analyzing it in terms of three dimensions such as the conceptualization of the environment, the level of analysis, and the relationship between organizations and the environment. And then the paper addresses some strengths and weaknesses of organizational isomorphism. Based on the limitations, in particular, the paper critically reviews several studies as alternatives to organizational isomorphism. Finally, the paper proposes an integrative model of explaining organizational polymorphism as an alternative to organizational isomorphism in response to the institutional environment, which consists of such factors as multiple institutional logics, organizational positions, and organizational belief systems.
