Abstract
Institutional logics are taken for granted practices and beliefs concerning the institutions of modern societies. Logics are important theoretical constructs that help to explain connections within an organizational field defining the behavioral possibility of actors (Friedland and Alford, 1991). Through the analysis of the rise and evolution of the Temporary Work Agencies (TWAs) field, we aim to study the mutual interaction among the field actors, events and institutional logics. As far as we are concerned, this field is characterized by institutional logics embedded in a wider institutional order. Our concern is about the possibility of identifying the different roles that competing logics take on in a 'battle' for a position of dominance in a process of institutional change. Moreover we attempt to analyze how logics can influence the behavior of organizations within the field. To better analyze the mutual conditioning and interaction among events, logics and individual and collective action, we can distinguish between weak and strong events.
