To do so, we draw on the institutional logics perspective, which allows connecting societal-level institutional orders with the ways in which organizations, sometimes strategically, use and thereby potentially redefine these orders. Based on comprehensive secondary data, we analyze YouTube as an exemplary case of how the logics of the market, the corporation, and the community are selectively appropriated and strategically subverted by large, centralized and commercially oriented social media platforms. YouTube rhetorically deploys market logic narratives of meritocratic competition and equal opportunity, yet operationally creates algorithmic hierarchies that favor established creators and concentrate market power. Similarly, the platform invokes the community logic by promoting democratic participation and collective expression while its algorithmic architecture amplifies polarizing content and fragments public discourse. The corporate logic manifests through bureaucratic governance structures that extend organizational control to users without reciprocal accountability mechanisms. Examining the Fediverse as an organizational alternative based on decentralized architectures and distributed governance, we argue that these mechanisms reflect strategic choices rather than technological inevitability. Highlighting the power of social media platforms to manipulate and undermine institutional logics, we discuss how contestation around their governance also entails contestation around the interinstitutional system structuring societies because of their important role in shaping the public sphere.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47253,"journal":{"name":"Information and Organization","volume":"36 1","pages":"Article 100612"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146173150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These privacy-specific responsibilities are often enacted through activities in the non-market environment, i.e., the social, political, and legal interactions organizations have with key stakeholders that indirectly affect profitability. Such non-market privacy activities have the potential to enhance privacy effectiveness and yield reputational benefits. However, there is a dearth of research exploring how organizations' privacy-related actions in the non-market environment influence consumer perceptions and behavior. This research integrates power responsibility equilibrium (PRE) theory to explore how the levels of control and justice signaled by an organization's non-market privacy activities impact consumer outcomes (trust, privacy concern, and purchase/continuance intentions). These hypotheses are explored quantitatively using two experimental vignette studies (Experiment 1, <em>n</em> <em>=</em> <em>396</em>; Experiment 2, <em>n</em> <em>=</em> <em>503</em>). Findings provide strong empirical support for the role of perceived control and justice in shaping consumer responses to organizational privacy behaviors and highlight opportunities to enhance the consumer trust. Our results also challenge the adequacy of current risk-based approaches to privacy protection and suggest a trust-based approach may be more effective. This research contributes to both the information systems and the non-market strategy literatures by extending the application of PRE Theory to the domain of non-market privacy activities and offering empirical support of its relevance to consumer-firm relationships.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47253,"journal":{"name":"Information and Organization","volume":"36 1","pages":"Article 100601"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145705727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the relationship between technological affordances and institutional work in the emergence of new technological fields, drawing on data from 371 ventures promising blockchain solutions to tackle grand societal challenges. Findings reveal the emergence of the “blockchain for good” field around a utopian vision of a fair, responsible, efficient, and platformed world governed by blockchain. Such vision is constructed in the transient space between present and future, through affordance-driven institutional work. Three institutional work practices -problematization, prospection, and reification- construct the field in the transient space between future promises and their actualization. Through these practices, ventures mobilize blockchain's prospective affordances to span boundaries across market, state, and community logics, showcasing future visions as present realities. By theorizing prospective technological affordances and their conditions of enactability, the study highlights how prospective affordances drive institutional work, shaping the early emergence of new technological fields even before a technology is market-ready or widely adopted.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47253,"journal":{"name":"Information and Organization","volume":"36 1","pages":"Article 100610"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146778523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first was around roadmaps for community imaginaries, shock events (a major hack), and reactive technology and governance adjustments. The second involved distributed experimentation, staking as anting-in, and anticipation of security and regulatory requirements in platform protocols. The third was the emotional reframing of field issues (such as sustainability), building a new tech-mediated community language and philosophy, and elaborating roles and interdependencies. These phases allowed for the democratic community logic to be gradually combined with a more market one in a blended configuration of responsible crypto finance.

This paper introduces a novel methodological approach that enables large-scale investigations into the construction of the meanings of these technologies from a macro-discursive perspective. This macro-discursive perspective allows researchers to capture and analyze overarching patterns of the aspects that shape a technology's meaning in discourses at the macro level. Specifically, the methodological approach involves analyzing texts to capture the co-occurrence of social actors, problems, and solutions associated with a particular technology, as well as the prevalence of institutional logics' symbolic representations. The approach is grounded in theoretical insights from the social construction of technology (SCOT) and institutional logics. On a technical level, this paper proposes that the methodological approach presented can be implemented by combining formal methods of text analysis. Three methods will be discussed in detail: named-entity recognition, topic modeling, and word embeddings. The practical application of this methodological approach will be demonstrated in an empirical illustration based on the public discourse surrounding artificial intelligence in Germany from 2015 to 2022.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47253,"journal":{"name":"Information and Organization","volume":"35 4","pages":"Article 100598"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145049201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We shift the narrative in this field from defining what DL is to understanding how DL is developed by the actions of leaders and followers through artifact-based transformation of DL routines. We identify artifacts in six roles that stabilize or flexibilize performance of DL routines. We uncover that DL is not static but dynamic as flexibilizing artifacts promote adjustment in routine performance based on situational context. Leaders and followers can impede DL development by deciding to situationally deviate from the intended role of artifacts due to tensions between artifacts and past experiences. These findings advance DL theory by uncovering the importance of followers in DL and leadership theory by adding the lens of routines to leadership development.
