Abstract |
In addition to (in-)formal organisational structures, the perspectives and actions of the management and its influence are central to the coordination of organizational members. How management shapes this task, however, is so far hardly attributed to institutional influences of the organisational environment. Against this background, this book explores in a contrastive case study from a neo-institutionalist point of view how the action-guiding sense of leadership of managers in adult education can be systematically linked to the institutional context of the organization. As a contribution to theory building, the suggested model of “institutional logic of leadership” specifies assumptions about the interaction of institutional context, organisational framework conditions, and individual-action-oriented perspectives of managers in adult education, which are also suitable for other areas of education.
