摘要

策略行動者在不同的脈絡情境下，會如何實踐能動性，來改變與創新制度呢？此問題背後所關注的是行動與結構兩股力量的互動與抗衡，對此，本研究將根據制度興業的理論觀點，探討行動者（興業家）如何運用策略，改變其所處的制度環境。因此，關注重點將置放於行動者實踐能動性之策略行動構面，以及其與所處脈絡環境所產生的鑲嵌性，並以場域的制度化程度與行動者位置這兩個構面，解構制度興業活動發生的起始脈絡條件，藉此整理文獻發展一個制度策略的整合架構，來解釋行動者（興業家）在不同情境下會如何創新不同的制度與帶動制度改變。

How do strategic actors embody agency to change institutions in different contexts? To answer this question, the focus is on the interaction and counterbalance between action and structure. Thus, this paper draws on the literature of institutional entrepreneurship to examine how actors execute agency when engaging with micro-level strategic actions to change or transform institutional structures. I examine the interplay among the institutional entrepreneur, the institutional strategy, and the embedded environment to highlight the importance of embeddedness. I develop an integrative framework, comprising two dimensions-the degree of institutionalization and an actor's position within the field-to shed light on institutional change processes.
