职业院校混合所有制办学的行动策略——合法性视角的多案例研究

基于组织社会学新制度主义理论的合法性视角,本研究采用多案例研究方法对4所职业院校混合所有制办学过程中合法性获取的行动策略和类型展开探讨,通过对语料库进行分析识别混合所有制办学阶段、行动策略与合法性类型之间的关系。研究发现:职业院校混合所有制办学获取合法性的联盟策略主要包括谈判、利益协调、构建并利用社会网络;分析策略主要包括辨识详述、制定标准、身份建构和治理体系建构;文化策略主要包括宣传和嵌入。职业院校在混合所有制办学的创建期主要采用分析策略,重点获取的合法性类型是规范合法性;在发展期,文化策略显著增加,三种策略比例较为均衡,职业院校着力于规制和文化认知合法性获取。职业院校规制合法性主要通过联盟策略获取;规范合法性主要通过分析和联盟策略获取;文化认知合法性主要通过文化策略获取。因此,职业院校在探索混合所有制办学的过程中要尝试定义不同的发展阶段,根据所处阶段选择相应的行动策略。

Action strategies of mixed ownership in vocational colleges:a multiple-case study from the perspective of legitimacy

Based on the theory of new institutionalism in organizational sociology,from the perspective of legitimacy,the study discusses the legitimacy acquisition strategies and types in the running process of mixed ownership in four vocational colleges by using the multiple-case study,and identifies the relationship between the mixed ownership stage,the strategies of legitimacy acquisition and the types of legitimacy acquisition by content analysis.Foundings are that the alliance strategies of legitimacy acquisition of mixed ownership in vocational colleges mainly include negotiating,coordinating interests,building and leveraging social networks;analytical strategies mainly include identifying details,formulating standards,and constructing the identity and governance system;cultural strategies mainly include publicity and embedding.In the period of creation,mixed-ownership vocational colleges mainly adopt analytical strategies and acquire the normative legitimacy type.In the development period,cultural strategies are increased significantly,and the proportion of these three strategies is relatively balanced,focusing on the legitimacy acquisition of regulation and cultural cognition types.The regulation legitimacy is mainly acquired by alliance strategies,the normative legitimacy by analytical strategies and alliance strategies,and the cultural cognition legitimacy by cultural strategies.Therefore,vocational colleges should try to define different stages of development and choose corresponding action strategies according to their stages in the process of exploring mixed ownership.
