Primes¶
- Institution
- Organizational science: Routines, standard operating procedures, and governance structures that persist through staff turnover; organizations themselves become institutionalized when their practices acquire taken-for-granted, rule-like status beyond technical necessity, the isomorphic pressures DiMaggio and Powell (1983) traced in explaining why organizations in a field converge on the same structures.
This sourceDemonstrates how organizations adopt similar structures to achieve legitimacy across institutional fields, generalizing legitimacy mechanisms beyond political authority.

- Legitimacy
- As DiMaggio and Powell (1983) demonstrated in their analysis of institutional isomorphism, legitimacy generalizes to any relationship of authority-and-subject, not just political governance.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
