Abstract
The study of organizations and sociological social psychology requires an answer to the micro-macro problem, and thus the authors propose one such solution. They utilize the new institutional logics perspective to discuss the connections between organizations and social psychological processes. Using this paradigm’s dynamic construction model, which involves causal theoretical connections between macro/organizational-level and micro-level processes, they attempt to integrate some of its notions into influential theories from sociological social psychology. Specifically, they examine status characteristics, status construction, emotion management/labor, affect control, social exchange, and identity theories to recommend ways in which adding concepts from the new institutional logics perspectives might promote theory growth. In so doing, they also demonstrate how concepts from these social psychological theories could enhance the new institutional logics perspective. Their approach is admittedly superficial and not exhaustive; nevertheless, they challenge social scientists to incorporate organizational-level concepts into theories of social interaction to better capture social reality.
