制度化 分析을 위한 形態發生過程模型

This paper’s objective is to establish the morphogenic model aimed at understanding institutionalization which is borrowed heavily from Walter Buckley’s modern systems theory. One of Buckley’s major aims has been to apply the perspective of modern systems theory to sociology in an attempt to develop a more dynamic conceptual framework of sociocultural reality. Viewing current theory as based too heavily on the mechanical and organic models of the past, Buckley attempted to utilize the dynamics of information transmission-the basis of the cybernetic approach-to develop a process-oriented view of social organization. To summarize, Buckley views social organization at the psychological and sociocultural level as based upon the process of information feedback and structured by the communication systems at these levels as well as the processes of morphostasis and morphogenesis. Like Parsons, he sees society as a system consisting of subsystems, structure and process, equilibrium and evolution; to Buckley, however, the underlying functions are cybernetic rather than biological. Finally, our model assumes that sociocultural system generates, changes and maintains its own structure, in contrast with the mechanical and the organic systems. Three examples relevant to such a model are role-making, negotiated order and resolution of role strain.
