Navigating institutional complexity in entrepreneurial firms: An
integrated model for managing employee and commercial logics
Abstract
This research addresses the challenge of managing the interplay between
commercial and employee logics within entrepreneurial firms in Ghana.
Drawing on institutional logic research and a comparative case study, it
contributes significantly in four ways: (1) defining these logics in the
Ghanaian context, (2) introducing two novel approaches to handle
multiple logics, (3) emphasizing the role of leadership style and
occupational culture as crucial filters, and (4) introducing a new
organizational response to institutional complexity. This study enhances
understanding of institutional logics and offers valuable insights into
managing conflicting logics within Ghanaian organizations.
