Actors and Actorhood in Institutional Theory
Journal of Management Studies · 2020 · Volume 57 · Issue 4
Abstract
Concepts of actors and actorhood, and different interpretations of these concepts, underlie many debates in institutional research. The three Point-Counterpoint articles presented here seek to reflect on what actorhood means in institutional theory. They offer thought-provoking perspectives on the relationship between human agency and the normative arrangements underpinning institutional behaviour.
