Abstract
One solution to institutional multiplicity has been to compartmentalize different institutional rationales in separate subsystems of the organization. However, the very separation and specialization within such organizational subsystems prompts the emergence of intra-organizational communities that strengthen the difference between and incompatibility of institutions as manifested within organizations. The purpose of this paper is to explore the how compartmentalized institutions are elaborated within such intra-organizational communities and encountered within specific settings across these communities. Our key contribution is to provide a more detailed understanding of how institutional multiplicity manifests and unfolds within organizations that takes into account situated dynamics inherent within internal organizational arrangements. Our paper suggests that intraorganizational arrangements shape and construct institutional incompatibility as well as tensions and conflict.
