组织生活发生的地方可能会对行为者、行动和结果产生深远的影响，但在组织研究中基本上被忽视了。借鉴社会地理学的思想，我们探讨了地点在机构工作中所扮演的角色。我们研究的背景是住房困难的人的住房领域，我们在其中进行了两个定性的案例研究：为艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者建立加拿大第一个住宿和日托设施，以及创建一个市政计划，为当地教堂的无家可归者提供临时过夜住所。在考察这些案例时，我们发现地方扮演着三个关键角色：地方遏制、调解和复杂的机构工作。这些角色中的每一个都与地方的不同本体论相关联：地方作为社会封闭物、作为能指符号和作为实际对象。我们的发现对我们如何理解地点和组织之间的关系具有重要的意义，并使我们能够开发一个关于地点、机构和机构工作的过程模型。
The places in which organizational life occurs can have profound impacts on actors, actions, and outcomes but are largely ignored in organizational research. Drawing on ideas from social geography, we explore the roles that places play in institutional work. The context for our study is the domain of housing for the hard-to-house, within which we conducted two qualitative case studies: the establishment of Canada’s first residential and day-care facility for people living with HIV/AIDS, and the creation of a municipal program to provide temporary overnight accommodation for homeless people in local churches. In examining these cases, we found that places played three key roles: places contained, mediated, and complicated institutional work. Each of these roles was associated with a distinct ontology of place: places as social enclosures, as signifiers, and as practical objects. Our findings have significant implications for how we understand the relationship between location and organizations and allow us to develop a process model of places, institutions, and institutional work.
