Chapter Chapter 1 in Status and Organizations, 2022, pp 1-26 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The chapter introduces and defines key concepts and terms, and discusses how status is to be considered from an organization theory perspective, i.e., how is status and status relations determined by organizational practices and mechanisms. In contrast, in much scholarly literature, status is examined as a psychological or social theory concept that serve to structure the social order on basis of individual and collective beliefs. In contrast, in an organization theory perspective, status is construed as a social fact (in the Durkheimian sense of the term) that provide advantages for the high-status actor.
