Resumo: The objective of this paper is to highlight the possibilities of using the organizing approach as a micro foundation for organizational institutionalism given that it presents a theory of action more adequate than the ones which predominate in the institutionalist works. Based on the assumption that action in organizations is guided by comprehensive institutional orders that are not, however, isolated from social interaction and sense-building processes, it is proposed to integrate institutional theory with the approach of organizing as a base for the analysis of organizational processes. Through a review of what we call different “waves” of neo-institutional theory in organizations, we theorize the relationship between organizing, sensemaking, and institutions. In addition to presenting a synthesis of the trajectory of organizational institutionalism, we highlight some epistemological shifts observed within this theoretical body over time. Finally, we present the potential contributions of the use of an analytical lens that takes the approach of organizing (WEICK, 1979) as a theoretical micro foundation suitable for the institutional analysis of strategies and practices employed for the maintenance in organizations.

Partiendo del presupuesto de que la acción en organizaciones se orienta por órdenes institucionales integrales que no están desconectadas de la interacción social y de los procesos de construcción de sentidos, se propone la integración del institucionalismo organizacional con la teoría del organizar como base para el análisis de procesos organizativos. Por medio de la revisión de las denominadas “olas” de la teoría neoinstitucional en organizaciones, se aborda la relación entre el organizar, la construcción de sentidos y las instituciones. Además de presentar una síntesis de la trayectoria del institucionalismo organizacional, se destacan desplazamientos epistemológicos observados en el ámbito de este cuerpo teórico a lo largo del tiempo. Por último, se presentan las contribuciones potenciales de la utilización de la teoría del organizar (WEICK, 1979) como microfundamento teórico adecuado para el análisis institucional de estrategias y prácticas empleadas para el mantenimiento de organizaciones.O objetivo central deste artigo é evidenciar as possibilidades de uso da teoria do organizar de Karl Weick como microfundamento para o institucionalismo organizacional, considerando que essa abordagem da ação se mostra mais adequada do que aquelas predominantes nos estudos institucionalistas. Partindo do pressuposto de que a ação em organizações se orienta por ordens institucionais abrangentes que não estão desconectadas da interação social e dos processos de construção de sentidos, propõe-se a integração entre o institucionalismo organizacional e a teoria do organizar como base para a análise de processos organizativos. Por meio de revisão das denominadas “ondas” da teoria neoinstitucional em organizações, aborda-se a relação entre o organizar, a construção de sentidos e as instituições. Além de apresentar uma síntese da trajetória do institucionalismo organizacional, destacam-se deslocamentos epistemológicos observados no âmbito desse corpo teórico ao longo do tempo. Por fim, apresentam-se as potenciais contribuições do uso da teoria do organizar (WEICK, 1979) como microfundamento teórico adequado para a análise institucional de estratégias e práticas empregadas para a manutenção de organizações.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2019-02-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/72948Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 17 No. 2 (2019); 247-262Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 17 Núm. 2 (2019); 247-262Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 17 n. 2 (2019); 247-2621679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/72948/75132https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/72948/75135Copyright (c) 2019 Cadernos EBAPE.BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGrigoletto, FábioAlves, Mário Aquino2019-07-18T19:55:10Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/72948Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:06.728596Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
