What Are the Psychological Microfoundations of Organisational Routines?

Summary/Abstract: The study is a comprehensive introduction to the psychological version of the so-called microfoundational approach to routines. It focuses on the problem of how psychological micro-level phenomena and processes of individual actors affect the organisational macro-level of routines. More specifically, the study proposes to explain the sources of macro-level automatic stability and resourceful flexibility of routines by psychological habits and psychological flexibility. The approach presented in the study promises not only the level of detail that has not been present in extant investigations of routines research, but also a new account of the classic problem of the opposition between automaticity and flexibility of routines.
