Example text

EEA gains from IO the conditions that determine the path of an incompatible authority structure towards compatibility. LSA gains an explanation of the strength of other sources of legitimacy that it took as given, additional factors that back it, and corrects for over-determination of the stability of authority. IO gains a mechanism that refines its explanation of decoupling and a condition – the importance of the organization’s sanctions to its participants – that determines the magnitude of change towards either coupling or decoupling, whichever direction the process takes.

Incompatibility undermines individual beliefs in the legitimacy, and therefore the stability, of an organization’s authority structure (Dornbusch & Scott, 1975). LSA is a theory of other sources of legitimacy that nevertheless maintain the stability of an organization’s authority structure even if it is incompatible (Zelditch & Walker, 1984). Both theories have much to gain from Meyer and Rowan’s theory of institutionalized organizations (IO). The external legitimacy processes of IO play a central role in the incorporation of the institutions of the environment into the internal structure of an organization (Meyer & Rowan, 1977).

This default assumption differs from the hypothesis most nearly comparable to it in Scott and Meyer (1983), where organizations with weak pressures from both environments are small and their capacity for survival weak (Scott & Meyer, 1983, p. 141, Hypothesis 6). The difference is that Scott and Meyer’s analysis of sectoral effects is focused on the organization rather than its authority structure. 9. Hypothesis 4 simply paraphrases the most nearly comparable hypothesis in Scott and Meyer (1983).
