ABSTRACT Pluralistic organizations face the challenge of managing the co-existence of multiple sets of assumptions associated with each institutional logic. This multiplicity of assumptions problematizes the findings from the change management literature that for successful change management, the normative assumptions of the change initiative should be congruent with the organizational normative assumptions. One of the organizational mechanisms in which the normative assumptions are encoded and enacted is the system of accountability, hence in pluralistic organizations, there is a need to understand the role of the interplay of the normative accountability assumptions of the change initiative with the multiple sets of accountability assumptions representing individual logics within the organization. This study examines the case of a project to renew a strategic framework of a Canadian public university. The project diverged from the existing governance practices and their associated accountability assumptions that represented the institutional logic of managerialism. We found that this project was widely accepted, despite deviating from the institutional logic that supported existing practices, because its accountability assumptions were congruent with co-existing and deeply-rooted, democratic logic within the organization. Our findings contribute to the change management literature by highlighting the role of normative accountability assumptions in change management within pluralistic organizations.

管理多元化组织中的变更:规范性问责制假设的作用

摘要多元化的组织面临着管理与每个机构逻辑相关的多组假设共存的挑战。这种多样化的假设使变更管理文献的发现成为问题,因为对于成功的变更管理而言,变更计划的规范性假设应与组织的规范性假设相一致。规范假设被编码和制定的组织机制之一是问责制,因此,在多元化组织中,有必要了解变革倡议的规范问责假设与多套措施之间相互作用的作用。代表组织内各个逻辑的责任假设。本研究考察了更新加拿大公立大学战略框架的项目案例。该项目与现有的治理实践及其相关的问责性假设不同,后者代表了管理主义的制度逻辑。我们发现,尽管该项目偏离了支持现有实践的机构逻辑,但仍被广泛接受,因为其问责性假设与组织内部并存且根深蒂固的民主逻辑是一致的。我们的发现通过强调规范性问责假设在多元化组织内的变更管理中的作用,为变更管理文献做出了贡献。该项目与现有的治理实践及其相关的问责性假设不同,后者代表了管理主义的制度逻辑。我们发现,尽管该项目偏离了支持现有实践的机构逻辑,但仍被广泛接受,因为其问责性假设与组织内部并存且根深蒂固的民主逻辑是一致的。我们的发现通过强调规范性问责假设在多元化组织内的变更管理中的作用,为变更管理文献做出了贡献。该项目与现有的治理实践及其相关的问责性假设不同,后者代表了管理主义的制度逻辑。我们发现,尽管该项目偏离了支持现有实践的机构逻辑,但仍被广泛接受,因为其问责性假设与组织内部并存且根深蒂固的民主逻辑是一致的。我们的发现通过强调规范性问责假设在多元化组织内的变更管理中的作用,为变更管理文献做出了贡献。因为其问责性假设与组织内部并存且根深蒂固的民主逻辑是一致的。我们的发现通过强调规范性问责假设在多元化组织内的变更管理中的作用,为变更管理文献做出了贡献。因为其问责性假设与组织内部并存且根深蒂固的民主逻辑是一致的。我们的发现通过强调规范性问责假设在多元化组织内的变更管理中的作用,为变更管理文献做出了贡献。
