AB  - Drawing on Thornton et al. (2012) metatheoretical framework, which recognizes
that institutional logics reside at different institutional levels and are linked by
macro-micro, micro-micro and micro-macro interactions, this paper seeks to
analyze the role of ABC technology in the hybridization of the Portuguese NHS
hospitals field. In so doing we adopted a cross-level perspective so that the intraorganizational
and field-level processes of hybridization could be brought
together in the analysis. We report the results of a longitudinal and in-depth case
study, encompassing the MoH and five public hospitals, conducted in the period
between 2007 and 2015. Emotions and conflicts of identities prevented the use of
ABC by the MoH to hybridize the sector and the medical profession. Actors’
identities and emotions played a central role in blocking the enactment of the
managerialist logic by doctors, hence conditioning the hybridization outcomes at
the field level. Recognizing that there is still little understanding of the dynamics
of hybridization, we develop a cross-level perspective on these processes.
Furthermore, we build critically on Thornton et al. (2012) arguing that emotions
need to be explicitly incorporated in order that hybridization mechanisms are
understood.
