본 논문은 지난 40여 년간 진행된 신제도주의 조직이론 연구를 제도적 디커플링 개념에 초점을 맞추어 검토한다. 신제도주의는 대표적인 패러다임으로 국내외 조직 연구에서 확고한 입지를 차지하고 있으나, 새로운 이론 패러다임의 도출 및 검증이나 다른 패러다임 간 대화와 통합에 미치는 근본적인 기여 측면에서 학문적 입지에 걸맞은 영향력을 앞으로도 유지해 나갈 수 있을 것인지 의문도 제기되는 상황이다. 개념은 조직이론의 가장 초기 시점부터 등장하여 최근까지 수많은 연구에 활용되기에 이러한 상황을 신제도론이 발달한 역사적 맥락에서 조망하는 데 유용하다. 개념이 조직이론에서 갖는 의미를 논의하되, 관련 연구 동향을 단순 소개하는 것에서 벗어나 지금까지 연구가 신제도론의 핵심주장을 명확하게 반영하고 확장에 기여했는지 근본적 수준에서 재고찰한다. 조직이론에 따르면 조직은 사회구성원이 바람직하고 당연하다고 여기는 가치와 규범을 반영하는 공식구조를 일률적으로 채택하도록 동형화 압력을 받는다....

Communicating an organization’s identity to members is crucial organizational performance and survival. However, little known about how hybrid companies—organizations pursuing prosocial missions while also engaging in commercial activities—convey their internal stakeholders effectively. Drawing on key insights from identity, certifications, strategic legitimation literatures, I posit that leaders of companies act as custodians may use certifications schema, i.e., a set interrelated...
