신제도주의 조직이론의 과제와 전망: 제도적 디커플링(Institutional Decoupling) 연구를 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study focuses on the concept of institutional decoupling and critically examines whether and how it contributes to the conceptual and contextual extension of neo-institutional approaches to organization studies. A general premise of neo-institutionalism is that organizations adopt formal policies, practices, and structures, not because there is strong empirical evidence that they improve organizational performance, but because they have become so-cially accepted as appropriate, desirable, or proper. However, scholars have noted that formal adoption does not necessarily lead to actual implementation as a result of two conflicting forces: the generalized institutional pressures to require formal adoption and the organization-specific technical demands to avoid operative inefficiency associated with the adoption. In this paper, we review and critique recent studies guided by the concept of institutional decoupling and show that it has great potential not only for promoting theoretical novelty but also for facilitating productive dialogue between neighboring para-digms in organization studies. We also point to a recent increase in the number of conceptual and empirical studies as well as the diversity of such studies in terms of empirical contexts. Yet our review suggests that the concept of institutional decoupling has been over-extended in some studies, leading to theoretical ambiguity and misinterpretation. We conclude our review by examin-ing critical issues to resolve conceptual over-extension and providing several avenues for future research.
