Abstract

The subject of the project is the relationship between the conditions for the performance of work and the relevant institutional frameworks that shape, enable, but also regulate and constrain that work. The perspective of institutional work allows us to grasp the ongoing interactive processes between the stabilising, structuring and regulating functions of institutions on the one hand, and the mechanisms for achieving gradual institutional change on the other. The complexity of the relationship between stability and dynamics will be highlighted by the choice of empirical cases that are at different stages of their (re)institutionalization. Through institutional work and other concepts of institutional and organisational theory, the project aims to analyse such actions of individual and collective actors that either have the ambition or in their consequences contribute to the creation, maintenance or disruption of those institutions that constitute the conditions of work performances in the analysed areas.
