场域流变、组织身份与多元制度逻辑响应研究

To integrate institutional theory and organizational identity theory and to break through the research limitations trading organizational fields as a given and unchanging context, this project demonstrates that theoretical links exist between organizational categorical identities and organizational fields. Taking this as the departure point, this project addresses the phenomenon which organizations alter their environments to trigger the variations of organizational fields, under which to facilitate the interpretation of different institutional bricolage behaviors of organizations to properly response plural institutional logics. The above research concerns are implemented as follows: to detect the mechanism of the variations of fields as well as its related contextual factors; to investigate how organizational and field factors and the overlapping between fields affect an organization to employ different responsive strategies when confronting plural institutional logics; to understand theoretical linkages between changes of categorical identities and internal identities of organizations. By focusing on the variations of organizational fields, this research provides a unique view to interpret organizational identity change, organizational responses to plural institutional logics as well as the reflections of consequential changes thus help to attain an overall understanding of behavioral modes of organization in both distinctively and coherently approaches. The research topic of this project has significant implications on how to leverage organizations’ agency to cope with institutional complexity.

秉承理论有机融合思路，对制度理论与组织身份理论加以衔接，突破组织场域既定或不变的传统研究局限，强调组织属类身份与场域之间的对应关联性，以（组织）场域流变为研究“抓手”，理解与剖析组织如何围绕其身份改变场域环境以促发场域流变，从而在多样性的制度编凑行为中实现对多元制度逻辑的较好响应。在具体的研究实施中，通过以下内在紧密关联的三个方面，对上述研究构思加以实现：研究场域流变的促发与形成机制；研究组织结合自身与场域的特征、场域环境间的交叉重叠性特征，如何选择相应的多元制度逻辑响应策略；研究场域流变后组织的属类身份与内部身份的联动机制。场域流变提供了透视组织身份变化、剖析组织响应多元制度逻辑的独特理论角度，也是探究组织的行为特点及其因应的组织内部转变的有效切入点，通过上述研究，于特定现象及其嵌套的多种情境中，理解组织的独特行为模式，从而为组织在复杂制度环境中如何较好发挥自身能动性提供重要的研究启示。

结合项目研究的关键词、核心理论概念、基础性理论领域、初步计划的研究内容设想等，从多个角度多样化地对项目主题进行了研究分解、整合与操作化实施，具体包含了以下研究内容：对相关理论领域进行了梳理，结合案例研究方法与思辨演绎方式，初步构建起了场域流变这一理论构念，探索了场域流变、组织身份与制度逻辑冲突之间的机制；运用案例研究方法，聚焦于沿“一带一路”跨国并购与国际化发展行为，突破传统主流研究视角，提出了“解耦式身份重构”理论概念；结合共享单车现象，分别以案例研究方法及定量研究方法，探讨了制度因素、合法性因素在行业中的特定作用；聚焦于企业的隐性抵消行为、超额遵从行为，剖析了企业在制度压力下的响应策略问题；以制度理论为基础，剖析了企业国际化发展中的相关问题；运作案例研究方法与扎根理论，初步构建起了“悖论式组织”这一原创性理论构念，并对目前中国管理原创性研究、研究中的关切点与问题进行了探讨及反思；结合制度理论等研究观点，研究了制度压力、企业模仿、慈善捐赠、企业行为信号机制；为本项目未来延伸研究可能性探索，对数字化经济及企业数字化转型、动态竞争理论等相关现象进行了初步的研究。
