Although researchers have acknowledged that not all institutional change results from the intentional efforts of relatively reflexive actors, we lack an explanation of how mundane interactions between actors can result in non-strategic institutional change. To address this, we advance the theory of institutional drift that reveals how the practice deviation(s) that occur between interaction partners in an institutional order, transformed into tolerable deviations by the self and others, can lead to the non-strategic transformation of that institutional order. Our framework extends the interactionist perspective in organizational institutionalism by showing how interpersonal interactions are animated and constrained by people’s passionate attachment to the fundamental sacred ideals, or ethos, underlying institutional orders. It is this connection with ethos that animates the interactional processes tied to both maintaining and disrupting institutions.

雷达下：制度漂移和非战略性制度变革

尽管研究人员承认，并非所有制度变革都源于相对自反行为者的有意努力，但我们缺乏对行为者之间的世俗互动如何导致非战略性制度变革的解释。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了制度漂移理论，该理论揭示了制度秩序中互动伙伴之间发生的实践偏差，如何转化为自我和他人可以容忍的偏差，如何导致该制度的非战略转变。制度秩序。我们的框架扩展了组织制度主义中的互动主义观点，展示了人际互动如何受到人们对基本神圣理想或精神、潜在制度秩序的热情依附的激励和约束。
