Doctoral Dissertation Research: The Green Building Industry in California

博士论文研究加州的绿色建筑业PI：Joseph Galaskiewicz Co-PI：Beth M.亚利桑那大学快速增长的绿色建筑市场正在改变消费者想要的建筑类型、建筑商使用的材料以及建筑师设计和思考建筑的方式。 本论文将研究在一个快速变化的市场中，面对既定的规则、规范和传统，行为者如何促进、攻击、实施或改变可持续发展和环保主义的理想，即，机构职能体系我们将研究一场运动的意识形态融入市场的机制。 这项工作将满足三个文献的交叉点：社会运动，组织变革和经济社会学，以解决嵌入式市场的出现，获得作为社会运动结果的制度变迁的理解，并讨论利润动机和动机之间的关系组织对社会和环境负责。 为了实现这一目标，我们建议研究如何通过创建LEED建筑认证体系，由美国绿色建筑理事会创建的新的制度标准出现的环境的理想是明确的。 该研究将重点关注加州的LEED认证建筑，并分三个阶段收集建筑商和建筑师、组织消费者和供应商的数据。 研究方法包括参与式观察、针对性访谈、收集绿色建筑文献资料等。 分析将使用叙述和过程分析的独特组合进行。 这项研究的更广泛的影响将解决市场的增长和创造，特别是在应对意识形态的起源，并将对社会运动的意识形态成为制度化的方式产生影响。绿色建筑也是一个案例，涉及到对社会负责和对生态负责的组织的出现。

Doctoral Dissertation ResearchThe Green Building Industry in CaliforniaPI: Joseph Galaskiewicz Co-PI: Beth M. DucklesUniversity of ArizonaThe rapidly growing green building market is changing the types of buildings organizational consumers want, the materials that builders use and the way in which architects design and think about buildings. This dissertation will examine the way in which the actors within a quickly shifting market promote, attack, implement or alter the ideals of sustainability and environmentalism in the face of established rules, norms, and traditions, i.e., institutions. We will examine the mechanisms by which the ideology of a movement becomes integrated into the marketplace. This work will meet at the intersection of three literatures: social movements, organizational change and economic sociology to address the emergence of an embedded market, gain an understanding of the institutional shifts as a social movement outcome and discuss the relationship between the profit motive and the motive for organizations to be socially and environmentally responsible. To accomplish this, we propose to study how the environmental ideals are commensurated as new institutional standards emerge through the creation of the LEED building certification system, created by the US Green Building Council. The study will focus on LEED certified buildings in the state of California and in three phases gather data on builders and architects, organizational consumers and suppliers. Methods include participant observation, targeted interviews, and the gathering of document data on green buildings. Analysis will be conducted using a unique blend of narrative and process analysis. The broader impact of this study will address the growth and creation of markets, particularly in response to ideological origins and will have implications for the way in which social movement ideology becomes institutionalized. Green building is also a case that addresses the emergence of socially responsible and ecologically responsive organizations.
