摘要

Organizational scholars are increasingly conceptualizing organizational responsiveness to institutional pressures as a strategic choice. This research identified a number of important institutional and technical determinants of this critical strategic choice. In particular, five factors that reflect the underlying nature of institutional pressures-cause, constituents, content, control, and context-were considered as forces motivating strategic responsiveness to institutional pressures. These issues were explored in a study of organizational responses to institutional pressures for employer involvement in work and family issues.
