Resumo
The objective of this research was to evaluate the formation and dynamic of an organizational field concerning private Higher Education Institutions (IES - Instituições de Ensino Superior) in Curitiba - PR from 1997 to 2006, based on twenty-six hypotheses identified in the literature on Institutional Theory. The methodology which characterized this research was exploratory study and multiple evidence sources were used. The data were obtained during interviews with thirty-one representatives of these institutions, as well as through questionnaires and other relevant documents. Data analysis was done in the descriptive-interpretative way during the qualitative stage and through cluster analysis and multiple regression during the quantitative stage. A hypothesis regarding the homophilia principle could not be sustained. However, the main hypothesis about the differentiated impact of isomorphic mechanisms in distinct dimensions of the organization, based on the organizational life cycle, shows that isomorphism is not only a structuring factor but also a change promoter both in the organizational field and in the organizations.
