Abstract
Organizational deviation that does not conform to institutional norms has
 long been discussed as necessary in organization studies. Discourses such
 as the neo-institutional legitimacy discourse and organizational learning theory's
 imitative learning discuss why organizations become similar and conformity.
 On the other hand, it describes variation and deviation behavior from the
 perspective of organizational and evolutionary theory. Based on the theoretical
 discourse on organizational status and organizational ecology, this study explores
 differentiated behaviors according to organizational status and the ecological
 factors that regulate them. To this end, the Korean hotel industry
 data from 2012 to 2021 was used to empirically analyze the effects of factors
 such as position in the organizational group and local competition on organizational
 deviance. The times series logistic regression analysis non-request for
 hotel rating review, that is, deviation from regulations as a dependent variable,
 resulted in the nonlinear effect of status within the organization group and
 the control of local competition based on accessibility. It was confirmed that
 all hypotheses predicting the effect were significantly supported. The results
 of this study provide theoretical implications that market status and localized
 competition may affect conformity to and deviation from institutional norms
 such as government laws, in addition to internal characteristics of organizations
 suggested by previous studies. In addition, we paid attention to the differentiated
 motivation, behavior, and differentiated impact of ‘middleness’ level organizational
 characteristics, which have not been discussed much theoretically or
 empirically, and explored the non-linear impact of middle-level characteristics.
 It has practical implications in that it reminds policymakers and practitioners
 of organizations that compete based on region and accessibility to the importance
 of localized competition.
