“…While institutional isomorphism is developing in accordance with three mechanisms, namely coercive, mimetic, and normative. Based on the concept of institutional isomorphism, institutional influences are dispersed through an organizational area called the organization's field, which means that organizations as a whole are a recognized area of institutional life, namely key suppliers, resources and product customers, regulatory dependencies, and other organizations that provide similar services and products (Erro and Sanchez, 2012). Structural isomorphism is described as an important consequence of the competitive and institutional processes.…”

“…Structural isomorphism is described as an important consequence of the competitive and institutional processes. As a result, organizations do not compete to gain resources or customers but to gain power and legitimacy, in addition to social welfare and economic outcomes (DiMaggio and Powell, 1983;Erro and Sanchez, 2012;Akbar et al, 2012;Ahyaruddin and Akbar, 2016). Meyer and Rowan (1977) as quoted by Akbar et al (2012) stated that isomorphism has three consequences to the organization, (1) they link legitimated elements externally, not in efficiency, (2) they use external criteria or ceremonial to determine the value of the structural elements, and (3) reliance on external institutions keep reducing turbulence and maintaining stability.…”

This research aims to explore the accountability and performance of government agency in perspective of institutional theory. It analytically answer two research questions: Do institutional isomorphism exist in the implementation of performance measurement system and accountability in public sector organizations? (RQ1) and Do government agencies actually use performance measurement information to aid decision-making and help plan for future performance improvement? (RQ2). This study is a qualitative research to answer two research question proposed with use semi-stuctured and open interview from SKPD officers in the local government of Yogyakarta Province. The results of interview were analyzed use thematic content analysis. Our finding show that three form of institutional isomorphism (coersive, mimetic and normative) were existed in the implementation of performance measurement system and accountability in public sector organizations. This result also show an interesting finding in government agency that performance information who reported in LAKIP was only a formality. The information content in LAKIP is not used as feedback to aid decision-making and plan for future performance improvement.

“…Dalam konsep isomorfisma kompetitif, dikatakan bahwa ketika ada suatu cara yang lebih murah, lebih baik, atau lebih efisien dalam melakukan sesuatu, kekuatan kompetitif mendorong organisasi untuk menuju ke arah pendekatan baru tersebut. Sementara itu, dalam konsep isomorfisma institusional, pengaruh institusional tersebar melalui area organisasi yang disebut dengan medan organisasi, yang berarti bahwa organisasi-organisasi secara keseluruhan merupakan sebuah area yang diakui dari kehidupan institusional, yaitu pemasok kunci, sumberdaya dan pelanggan produk, ketergantungan peraturan, dan organisasi lain yang menyediakan layanan dan produk serupa (Erro dan Sánchez 2012). Isomorfisma struktural digambarkan sebagai sebuah konsekuensi penting dari proses kompetitif dan institusional.…”

“…Isomorfisma struktural digambarkan sebagai sebuah konsekuensi penting dari proses kompetitif dan institusional. Akibatnya, organisasi tidak bersaing untuk mendapatkan sumber daya atau pelanggan tetapi untuk mendapatkan kekuasaan dan legitimasi, selain untuk kesejahteraan sosial dan hasil ekonomi (Dimaggio dan Powell 1983;Erro dan Sánchez 2012;Akbar et al 2012;Ahyaruddin dan Akbar 2016, 2018.…”

This research aims to analyze factors driving the accountability and performance of government as well as exploring qualitatively about accountability and performance of government agencies. In particular, this study examines the effect of incentives, regulations, and management commitment on government accountability and performance. Mixed method approach was used to answer research questions. Hypotheses were tested using SEM-PLS. Data analysis of the study involved 137 SKPD officers in districts/cities in Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) and five respondents as key informants. The results of the study found that management commitment has significant effect on accountability and government performance. In addition, regulatory also have significant effect on accountability. The findings also reveal the coercive pressure that exists in implementing accountability and government performance. This concludes that reporting of accountability and government performance in DIY was only limited to the formalities to meet regulatory obligations, so that this indicates a pseudo-performance. In the context of institutional theory, this study demonstrates significant contribution to the development of institutional isomorphism in public sector organizations, particularly local governments.

“…It enables participants to exploit the recognised standing of the UN logo (Hughes and Wilkinson, 2001; Fritsch, 2008) and thus increase their reputation (Selvik, 2013). It is also used to enter new markets, expanding the customer portfolio (Garayar Erro and Calvo Sánchez, 2012; Arevalo and Aravind, 2011). Some empirical papers (Bennie et al , 2007; Perkins and Neumayer, 2010) show a positive relationship between UNGC adoption and the country’s intensity of foreign direct investment.…”

Purpose In a world characterised by increasing environmental and social awareness, the number of corporate social responsibility and sustainability initiatives has significantly grown. Among these, the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) is one of the most important, involving more than 12,000 companies. The purpose of this study is to investigate the UNGC’s worldwide diffusion, both at country and industry level, to understand the reasons leading to the highlighted dissemination patterns, and to propose various future projections. Design/methodology/approach The study pursues its objectives by applying the logistic curve model to data provided by the United Nations. The analysis is complemented by adopting instability and concentration indexes. Findings Results suggest that, while human rights and environmental safeguard in some areas and industries will remain a controversial issue, UNGC adoption will continue growing and giving the participants the required legitimacy to compete in worldwide markets. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper that analyses the UNGC’s worldwide diffusion and proposes a prediction model for its future dissemination. The findings are of considerable importance in extending the knowledge of the initiative and in understanding the potential values of its adoption.
