Abstract

Bu kuramsal çalışmada, kurumsal mantıklar yaklaşımı ve simgesel etkileşimcilik kuramının temel varsayımlarından yararlanılarak, liderin yapısal sınırlılıklar içinde, kurumsal düzeni değiştirme eylemlerinde bulunabileceği ve yeni bir anlamlar sistemi meydana getirebileceği tartışılmıştır. Liderin bu aktör eylemliliği sürecinde, sembolik ve bilişsel dinamikleri harekete geçirip anlam ve eylemi tekrar yapılandırabileceği; çerçevelendirme, rol tanımı, bağlam denetimi ve yeni davranış örüntüleri tasarlama stratejileriyle örgütsel düzeyde kurumsal mantık değişimine yol açabileceği iddia edilmiştir. Ayrıca, aktör eylemliliğinin kurumsal mantık değişimi üzerindeki etkisinde liderlik tarzlarının etkileşimsel bir rolü olabileceği tartışılmış ve bu kapsamda bir model önerisi ve önermeler geliştirilmiştir.

ACTOR AGENCY, INSTITUTIONAL LOGICS CHANGE AND LEADERSHIP STYLES: A PROPOSED MODEL

Abstract

Drawing on the the basic assumptions of the institutional logics approach and symbolic interactionist theory, the present study theoretically discusses that the leader can take actions to change the institutional order and create a new system of sense making within the structural limitations. It has been claimed that the leader can activate symbolic and cognitive dynamics and reconstruct meaning and action in this actor agency process, using the strategies of framing, role definition, context control and designing new behavior patterns, which leads to a change in institutional logics at the organizational level. In addition, it has been discussed that leadership styles may have an interactive role in the effect of actor agency on the change in institutional logics. Based on the discussions, a theoretical model and propositions have been developed.
