Abstract

In organization theory, workplace norms and normative structures have long been recognized as an important part of formal and informal organizational life (Etzioni, 1961; Kunda, 1992; Roethlisberger and Dickson, 1939; Thompson and Warhurst, 1998). Norms facilitate the robust and reliable repetition of action, promote mutual expectations of behavior, and contribute to the stability and efficiency of working organizations in general (Ahrne and Brunsson, 2010; d’Iribarne, 2003; Sayer, 2008). Conversely, organizational norms are important mediators of organizational change as well as a crucial object to change initiatives and change management. However, normative aspects of organizational dynamics, their relevance and role in organizational change processes, and their transformation have been paid relatively less explicit attention in contemporary organizational research.
