Abstract

This paper investigates the institutional view on organizational legitimacy and legitimation processes by addressing the principal theses of the institutional school of thought and fundamental arguments raised by institutionalists. Beyond a shadow of doubt, the notion of organizational legitimacy is not a simple phenomenon that can be confined to a sole paradigm or a phenomenon that be explained through a sole theoretical lens. However, based on the idea that theories pinpoint the most relevant factors affecting the phenomena under investigation, I aim to pave the way for further theoretical research by crystallizing how the institutional school of thought embraces organizational legitimacy. In this regard, this paper analyzes the institutional approach to organizational legitimacy by suggesting an in-depth overview of thefactors that shape organizational legitimacy and identifies three essential institutional orientations. The paper concludes by indicating to the prominence of cultural frameworks in gaining legitimacy and by suggesting directions for future research.

Özet

Bu çalışma, kurumsal kuram düşünce okulunun temel tezlerini ve ortaya koyduğu temel argümanları inceleyerek örgütsel meşruiyet ve meşruiyet süreçlerine ilişkin kurumsal görüşü araştırmaktadır. Hiç şüphesiz, örgütsel meşruiyet kavramı tek bir paradigma ya da tek bir teorik mercekle açıklanabilecek veya sınırlandırılabilecek basit bir olgu değildir. Ancak, teorilerin araştırılan olguları etkileyen en ilgili faktörleri saptadığı düşüncesinden hareketle, kurumsal düşünce okulunun örgütsel meşruiyeti nasıl benimsediğini kristalleştirerek daha ileri teorik araştırmaların yolunu açmak hedeflenmektedir. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışma örgütsel meşruiyeti şekillendiren faktörlere derinlemesine bir bakış sunarak kurumsal yaklaşımın örgütsel meşruiyet yaklaşımını analiz etmekte ve üç temel kurumsal yönelimi ortaya koymaktadır.Makale, meşruiyet kazanmada kültürel çerçevelerin önemine işaret ederek ve gelecekteki araştırmalara yönelik öneriler sunarak sonuçlandırılmıştır.
