Das „stahlharte Gehäuse“ neu betrachtet: Institutionelle Isomorphie und kollektive Rationalität in organisationalen Feldern1

  • Chapter
Neo-Institutionalismus in der Erziehungswissenschaft

Was macht Organisationen so ähnlich? Wir behaupten, dass nicht mehr der marktförmige Wettbewerb der Motor von Rationalisierung und Bürokratisierung ist, sondern der Staat und die Professionen. Sobald ein Set von Organisationen als ein Feld entsteht, kommt es zu einem Paradox: Rationale Akteure gestalten durch ihre Versuche, die Organisationen zu wandeln, diese zunehmend ähnlich. Wir beschreiben drei Prozesse der Isomorphie – Zwang, Mimese und normativen Druck –, die zu diesem Ergebnis führen. Danach präzisieren wir Hypothesen über die Wirkung von Ressourcenzentralisierung und -abhängigkeit, von mehrdeutigen Zielen und unklaren Technologien, von Professionalisierung und Strukturierung auf isomorphen Wandel. Zuletzt erörtern wir Implikationen für Theorien der Organisation und des sozialen Wandels.
