- In many healthcare organizations, the managerial institutional logic co-exists and competes with the professional institutional logic in the day-to-day work of managers and professionals. In its examination of the relationship between these two institutional logics at three psychiatric care units for children and adolescents, this study contributes to our understanding of the theoretical concepts and their practical implications for the actor-to-actor approaches to competing institutional healthcare logics. Many earlier studies use theoretical concepts to describe this co-existence as a relatively equal relationship between the competing logics. This study, using data from interviews, observations and shadowing, reveals the existence of a process we label “hierarchization”. In this process, the managerial logic dominates the professional logic although the latter logic still co-exists and competes, albeit in a subordinate role. The study also reveals that quantification of primarily patient throughput is used to legitimize the dominant managerial logic. Such use of quantification supports the meta-trend of placing trust in numbers.

- This qualitative interview study investigates managers’ ongoing relationships in inter-organisational banks, examining how they assess trust in their counterparts and how they decide if the relationship should continue. In normal times, formal information can assess thin trust – the ability and integrity of their counterparts. In times of impending crisis, senior bank managers rely on the evaluation of thick personal trust: benevolence. To be a trustworthy party in a financial crisis, benevolence must be established between counterpart banks before the crisis. Benevolence is a redundant component of trust in normal times, but extremely important during a crisis. Lack of benevolence established in normal times may, in fact, be at least partially responsible for the fragility of interfirm agreements and alliances.

The problem-avoiding multi professional team - On the need to overcome protective routines
- 2015

- This study examines how compartmentalization in multi-professional teams in healthcare, inhibits productive interaction and the role of team leadership in the institutionalization of professional identity protective routines used in these units as they affect teamwork. The main finding is that protective routines that create compartmentalization reduce the threat to professional identity, but also influence potential affording situations negatively. The positive effect of protective routines in reducing the professional identity threat then is neutralized by this negative effect on affording situations. This explains why the effect of multi-professionalism on creative and effective teamwork may still be minimal despite the low level of professional identity threat. The paper adds to previous research on how team leadership can enhance the performance of multi-professional teams. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
