Socio-Organizational Structure and the Implications Between Institutional Change and Institutionalization

Abstract

This study has the purpose of analyzing the implications between the social structure and the institutional logics. It begins with the assumption that the functionalist differentiation theory can identify, analyze, and redefine the problems and objects of study in social structure and institutional logics fulfill crucial functions in institutions. The method used is the meta-cognitive and analytical descriptive and reflective based on the conceptual, theoretical, and empirical literature review. The study concludes that the implications of the conceptual, theoretical, and empirical relationships between social structure and institutional logics are crucial functions and spheres of institutions in societies, although they are not fully compatible, integrated, contrasting institutions, and reproducing institutional dysfunctions and paradoxes.
