摘要：This paper provides a figurational critique of one of the mostdominant theoretical frames within organisation studies - institutional theory.Despite its status as the leading theoretical lens for explaining organisationalchange, institutional theorists continue to struggle with the so called agencystructureissue and remain divided in how to overcome it. Our primarycriticisms concern the propensity to invoke or generate dualisms, the relianceon the sociological frames which sustain this, and the failure to engage in anycomprehensive way with Elias’s writings on this subject.
