Actors and Actorhood in Institutional Theory

Author

Listed:
  • Gerardo Patriotta

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.
