Título: Institutionalized Organizations: Formal Structure as Myth and Ceremony. In: The American Journal of Sociology, Vol. 83 Tipo documento: Artigo Autor(es): MEYER, John; ROWAN, Brian Ano: 1977 Local: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2778293 Palavras-Chave: Resumo: Many formal organizational structures arise as reflections of rationalized institutional rues. The elaboration of such rules in modern states and societies accounts in part for the expansion and increased complexity of formal organizational structures. Institutional rules function as myths which organizations incorporate, gaining legitimacy, resources, stability, and enhanced survival prospects. Organizations whose structures become isomorphic with the myths of the institutional environment – in contrast with those primarily structured …

Título: Revisiting IT Governance in the Light of Institutional Theory. In: 42th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences. IEEE Computer Society Tipo documento: Artigo Autor(es): JACOBSON, Dax Ano: 2009 Local: http://csdl2.computer.org/comp/proceedings/hicss/2009/3450/00/09-10-02.pdf Palavras-Chave: Resumo: IT governance research has been largely normative and has provided a great deal of useful insight into what effective IT governance should be. What has received less attention is an understanding of what really happens as organizations struggle to achieve effective IT governance. We argue that the time has come to supplement the important research on what IT governance should be with research on how IT governance …

Título: Agency Theory: An Assessment and Review. In: Academy of Management Review, Volume 14 Tipo documento: Artigo Autor(es): EISENHARDT, Kathleen Ano: 1989 Local: http://www.toorenburg.net/timbv/Adviesgebieden/outsourcing/principal-agent-theorie/Agency%20Theory,%20An%20Assessment%20Eisenhardt,%20AMR%201989.pdf/at_download/file Palavras-Chave: Resumo: Agency theory is an important, yet controversial, theory. This paper reviews agency theory, its contributions to organization theory, and the extant empirical work and develops testable propositions. The conclusions are that agency theory (a) offers unique insight into information systems, outcome uncertainty, incentives, and risk and (b) is an empirically valid perspective, particularly when coupled with complementary perspectives. The principal recommendation is to incorporate an agency perspective in studies of the many problems having …

Título: Agency – and Institutional – Theory Explanations: The case of retail sales compensation. In: Academy of Management Journal, Volume 31 Tipo documento: Artigo Autor(es): EISENHARDT, Kathleen Ano: 1988 Local: http://www.jstor.org/stable/256457 Palavras-Chave: Resumo: This research evaluated when organizations use salary compensation and when they use compensation that is based on performance. Variables from agency – and institutional – theory perspectives were used to explore the sales-compensation policies of 54 retail specialty stores. The programmability of a job, span of control, uncertainty, type of merchandise, and the age of a store chain were strong predictors of compensation policy. Overall, the results …

Título: The Iron Cage Revisited: Institutional Isomorphism and Collective Rationality in Organizational Fields. In: American Sociological Review, Vol. 48. Tipo documento: Artigo Autor(es): DIMAGGIO, Paul; POWELL, Walter. Ano: 1983 Local: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2095101 Palavras-Chave: Resumo: What makes organizations so similar? We contend that the engine of rationalization and bureaucratization has moved from the competitive marketplace to the state and the professions. Once a set of organizations emerges as a field, a paradox arises: rational actors make their organizations increasingly similar as they try to change them. We describe three isomorphic processes-coercive, mimetic, and normative-leading to this outcome. We then specify hypotheses about …
