Isomorphism, institutionalization and legitimacy: operational auditing at the court of auditors

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to verify the nature of the relationship between the concept of legitimacy and the phenomenon of institutionalization of operational auditing at the Court of Auditors in a context of institutional isomorphism. A documental examination was conducted covering the period of 1987 to 2004 and 18 people involved in the aforementioned activity at the Court of Auditors were interviewed.

Yet the diffusion of innovations may also occur without any legitimacy-seeking behaviour (Rossman 2014).…”

O isomorfismo coercitivo pode resultar de pressões formais e informais que são exercidas por outras organizações, podendo ser sentidas como coerção, persuasão, ou conluio (DIMAGGIO; POWELL, 2005 p. 77).…”
