Isi artikel

In this article, the authors draw on institutional theories of organizations to account for the dynamics that shape workers’ agency and identity during the construction and the operation of a green field automotive factory. Based on a detailed field study, they try to understand the mechanisms that first led to the rise and institutionalization of a specific model of workers’ identity and then caused its subsequent, largely unexpected, collapse. In addressing the link between identity and institutions, the case emphasizes the regulative and constitutive influences of institutions, the role of sense making and cognitive processes in shaping workers’ agency and identity, and the factors leading to the erosion of established institutional practices.
