Leitura do institucionalismo organizacional a partir da teoria do organizar de Karl Weick

Abstract

Resumo O objetivo central deste artigo é evidenciar as possibilidades de uso da teoria do organizar de Karl Weick como microfundamento para o institucionalismo organizacional, considerando que essa abordagem da ação se mostra mais adequada do que aquelas predominantes nos estudos institucionalistas. Partindo do pressuposto de que a ação em organizações se orienta por ordens institucionais abrangentes que não estão desconectadas da interação social e dos processos de construção de sentidos, propõe-se a integração entre o institucionalismo organizacional e a teoria do organizar como base para a análise de processos organizativos. Por meio de revisão das denominadas “ondas” da teoria neoinstitucional em organizações, aborda-se a relação entre o organizar, a construção de sentidos e as instituições. Além de apresentar uma síntese da trajetória do institucionalismo organizacional, destacam-se deslocamentos epistemológicos observados no âmbito desse corpo teórico ao longo do tempo. Por fim, apresentam-se as potenciais contribuições do uso da teoria do organizar (WEICK, 1979) como microfundamento teórico adequado para a análise institucional de estratégias e práticas empregadas para a manutenção de organizações.

Communication audit of BAWASLU participatory monitoring socialisation program in South Buton

“…Based on the research results at the output stage, in general, it may be deemed successful because of the huge number of messages that have been successfully conveyed to the target. Even so, the audit results of several informants said that the number of activities as a means of delivering messages for the participatory supervision socialization program was still insufficient, so there were suggestions that similar activities could be added in the future according to the needs (Gioia, 2006;GRIGOLETTO & ALVES, 2019;Maitlis & Sonenshein, 2010;Widhiastuti, 2013) The precision of media selection utilized in transmitting messages considerably affects the success of the communication process. This is in agreement with David K. Berlo's SMCR communication model.…”

“…On the other hand, institutional theory in the organizational literature has undergone a substantial shift towards understanding the role of agency in institutional change or persistence processes (Grigoletto & Alves, 2019). Institutional organization studies shifted from a greater emphasis on institutions and their ability to shape organizations and their field (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983) to people's and organizations' capacity to transform institutions through entrepreneurial actions (Hung & Whittington, 2011).…”

“…The result is an attribution of meaning that emerges from situated interactions, causing the coupling of the various rationalities in dispute (Hallett, 2010; Hallett & Hawbaker, 2021). The focus on the internal dynamics of organizations allows for an understanding of how different patterns of meaning emerge in interactions guided by a comprehensive institutional framework such as that of a bureaucratic body (Grigoletto & Alves, 2019). It also makes room for non‐cognitive agency manifestations, as in beliefs (Fine & Hallett, 2014) and emotions (Zietsma & Toubiana, 2018).…”

Open Government Partnership in São Paulo City and the São Paulo Aberta program: challenges in the diffusion and institutionalization of a global policy

“…This article will stress institutionalization in organizational theory. As this field is broad and with different currents of thought, we will focus on what Grigoletto and Alves (2019) call the third wave of institutional theory that is focused on its microfoundations. These authors contribute to this field by presenting a classification of three waves of institutional studies, since its beginning with the seminal work of Philip Selznick (1949).…”
