新建本科院校趋同发展的新制度主义分析———以山西省12所新建本科院校为例

Isomorphous Development of Newly-Established Colleges with the Perspective of New Institutionalism: The Cases of 12 Newly-Established Colleges in Shanxi Province

基于新制度主义中分析组织趋同的合法性机制框架，运用内容分析法，对山西省12 所新建本科 院校的发展进行了研究。结果表明：在合法性机制的驱动下，处于组织环境中的新建本科院校遵守政策制度 规定，模仿和学习那些公认的理念和实践。这使其在快速获得合法性的同时也走上了趋同发展的道路。虽然 对于新建本科院校而言，趋同现象有其存在的必然性，然而长期过度的趋同，不仅会给新建本科院校的自身 发展带来危害，也将影响整个高等教育的组织生态群，进而影响整个社会的人才结构。

This study takes 12 newly-established colleges in Shanxi Province as example to examine the isomorphous development of newly -established colleges with the content analysis based on the framework of organizational isomorphism and legitimacy mechanism of new institutionalism. The results show that driven by legitimacy mechanism， newly -established colleges could obtain legitimacy though abiding by policies， and imitating and learning acknowledged ideas and practices. Therefore， the phenomenon of organizational isomorphism is inevitable for newly-established colleges. However， excessive isomorphism will not only lead to damages for newly-established colleges， but also impact the whole organizational ecology of higher education.
