Abstract
This research note contributes to the conceptual development of neo-institutional theory by applying the work of scholars associated with the economies-of-worth research stream to enhance understanding of how objects and material devices contribute to stabilising coordination processes when multiple principles of action coexist within a single organisation. We demonstrate that, depending on the responses to different principles of action constructed by an organisation and its members, different objects and material devices are involved. Specifically, we use empirical examples to highlight three categories of objects and material devices: specific, composite and settlement objects.
Keywords:
- Neo-institutional theory,
- economies of worth,
- institutional pluralism,
- objects and material devices,
- compromise,
- local settlement
Résumé
Cette note de recherche contribue au développement analytique de la théorie néo-institutionnelle en mobilisant les économies de la grandeur pour comprendre comment les objets et dispositifs matériels participent aux processus de coordination lorsque plusieurs principes d’actions coexistent au sein d’une même organisation. Nous montrons qu’en fonction des réponses au pluralisme des principes d’actions construites par l’organisation et ses membres, différents objets et dispositifs matériels sont mobilisés. Précisément, nous mettons en valeur, au travers d’illustrations empiriques, trois catégories d’objets et dispositifs matériels : les objets spécifiques, composites et d’arrangement.

Resumen
Esta nota de investigación contribuye al desarrollo analítico de la teoría neoinstitucional, movilizando las economías de la grandeza para entender cómo participan los objetos y dispositivos materiales en los procesos de coordinación cuando varios principios de acción coexisten en el seno de una misma organización. Mostramos que, en función de las respuestas al pluralismo construidas por la organización y sus miembros, distintos objetos y dispositivos materiales intervienen. En particular, ponemos de relieve, a través de ilustraciones empíricas, tres categorías de objetos y dispositivos materiales que intervienen en el tratamiento del pluralismo institucional: los objetos típicos, de compromiso y de acuerdo.
