The Implementation of the New Institution: The vertical boundary structure and its operation in Danwei organization

本文试图在决策层与单位成员上下分际的组织结构中,讨论新制度落实的决策逻辑、行动特征以及合法性获得等内部运作问题。案例显示:新制度的落实首先是一个台后“决策”的运作过程,其基本的逻辑是“以特定的政策将特定的人放在特定位置上”；由于缺乏“定群体的稳定共识”,单位成员的行动反应呈现出一种相互牵制的特征,从而降低了修改制度文本的可能性；新制度实施方案的合法性获得在一定程度上与仪式性组织活动所建构的情境压力及其对表决行为所施加的影响有关。概言之,新制度的落实是一个克服上下分际的组织结构的结构性张力的过程。

 This paper attempts to examine the decision logic，group behavior characteristics and legitimacy acquirement strategies in the course of new institution’s implementation in a vertical boundary structure between decision-makers and the members of the organization． The case shows that the implementation of the new institution is firstly an operation of backstage decision，and its basic logic is to put the designated person on the designated position through designated policy． Due to the absence of stable consensus of a fixed group，the responses of the Danwei members bear a characteristic of checks and balances，which has reduced the possibility of institutional revision． To a certain degree，the implementation scheme’s acquirement of legitimacy is related to the situational pressure and its influence on voting，which is constructed by ritual organizational activities． In brief，the implementation of the new institution is a process of overcoming the vertical boundary structure and its structural tensions．
