Contingency in valuations: On the interdependence of multiple values and waste in organizations
How organizations connect to multiple values is well explored, while the role of valuelessness and waste therein remains understudied. The purpose of this article is therefore to conceptualize the interrelations among multiple values, organizations, and waste. By cross-fertilizing sociological perspectives on organizations with insights from valuation studies, we inquire into how waste arises when organizations engage with multiple values. Drawin…
Organizational Society Revisited: From Archetype to New Forms of Organization
Organizational sociology focuses heavily on organizations and interorganizational structures. However, the societal effects of organizations tend to be neglected in this research context. This article aims to provide the conceptual groundwork for overcoming this situation. It discusses the concept of “organizational society,” developed in the second half of the 20th century, where impacts of organizations on social structure and societal developm…
Engaging with food waste while avoiding stigma: How a consultancy shields hospitality organizations from dirty work associations
Calls for food waste reduction and prevention are intensifying, including in the hospitality sector, where waste occurs in kitchens and during food service. Hospitality organisations are encouraged to adopt an engaged approach, committing to responsible food handling with a focus on waste reduction. However, drawing on the “dirty work” literature, which refers to activities perceived as tainted, we expect that an engaged approach may trigger stig…
Status in Socio-Environmental Fields: Relationships, Evaluations, and Otherhood
Status distinctions matter among heterogeneous organizations within a socioenvironmental field. This is exemplified in the food waste field, where six types of organizations employ different excess strategies to address the issue. Theoretically, we propose that status is constructed internally through advice relationships and externally through evaluations. We posit that organizations conducting evaluations and advocating legitimate principles ba…
Waste in Organizations: Discerning (Dis)value in Rational, Natural, and Open Systems Perspectives
Society overflows with waste, and waste and discard studies emphasize the social construction and contingency of waste, outlining it as the negatively valued. However, organizational sociology currently does not reflect these insights and rarely accounts for waste. Therefore, this article asks what kind of theory is required to capture waste in organized contexts. By searching for waste in Scott and Davis' well-accepted three perspectives on orga…
Organizing values: The principles of rationalization and individualization
This chapter focuses on the interplay between organizations and values. Whereas organizational responses to normative expectations have been a major research topic, there is comparatively little research on societal impacts of these organizational responses. Against this background, we show that organizational responses to value issues can have far-reaching external effects of transforming the meaning of these values, leading to surprising field …
Organisationsgesellschaft »reloaded«. Organisationsweisen und Herausforderungen im 21. Jahrhundert
Die Soziale Welt ist eine der großen, auch im Ausland gelesenen Fachzeitschriften innerhalb der deutschen Soziologie. Sie bringt empirische und theoretische Arbeiten aus allen Bereichen des Faches und versucht auf diese Weise, die Entwicklung der Soziologie einerseits zu spiegeln und ihr andererseits auch neue Impulse zu geben. Dies geschieht neben den viermal pro Jahr erscheinenden regulären Heften auch durch die Arbeit an Sonderbänden mit einhe…

Accountability in transnational governance: The partial organization of voluntary sustainability standards in long‐term account‐giving
Transnational sustainability governance often builds upon standards. Considering that the rise of transnational governance has blurred accountability relations, this article interrogates how and with what consequences a standards development organization (SDO) mobilizes standards for the sake of accountability. Following a partial organization perspective, standards are conceptualized as combinations of organizational elements that enhance accoun…
Governing value(s) and organizing through standards
Standards are strongly intertwined with values in economic contexts, which goes far beyond economic value. Standards' diversity is expressed in local spaces where standards are made, put into action, circulate and commensurate. In these mutually linked and globally distributed spaces, we can analyze the ways in which standards and value(s) encounter each other and what consequences this brings for individuals, organizations, communities, and soci…

Governing food futures: Towards a ‘responsibility turn’ in food and agriculture
Organisationsgesellschaft neu gedacht: Vom Archetyp zu neuen Formen der Organisation
Während die Organisationssoziologie vornehmlich auf die Analyse von Organisationen und zwischenorganisatorischen Arrangements konzentriert ist, finden wir in verschiedenen anderen Teilgebieten der Soziologie die Einschätzung, dass die Rolle von Organisationen hinsichtlich ihrer gesellschaftlichen Effekte oftmals nur unzureichend reflektiert wird. Dieser Beitrag zielt darauf ab, konzeptionelle Voraussetzungen zur Überwindung dieser Situation zu sc…
Rationalisierung und Individualisierung: Wie Organisationen gesellschaftliche Werte verändern
Nadine Arnold, Raimund Hasse und Hannah Mormann fragen, wie institutionentheoretische Konzepte für die Untersuchung von Wertephänomenen mobilisiert werden können. Dafür unterscheiden sie zwischen gesellschaftlichen Werten und Rationalisierung und Individualisierung als universell geltende Prinzipien des Organisierens. Diese begriffliche Unterscheidung ermöglicht es, die Rolle von Organisationen bei der Umsetzung gesellschaftlicher Werte wie Mensc…
Die Produzenten in moralisierten Märkten: Producers in Moralized Markets
In Studien zu moralisierten Märkten bildet die Produktionsseite einen blinden Fleck. Dieser Artikel erforscht, wie sich eine moralisch aufgeladene Idee verändert, wenn sie an die Orte der Produktion getragen wird. Unter Bezugnahme auf die neo-institutionalistische Translationstheorie wird untersucht, wie das für moralisierte Märkte exemplarische Modell des Fairen Handels durch ghanaische Produzentenorganisationen übersetzt wird. Die empirische St…
Slowed Down Economisation: The Persistence of Alternative Trade Organisations
Have Swiss Alternative Trade Organizations (ATOs) valorized economic aspects at the expense of their social mission for the longer term? From a historical perspective (1974–2013), this article shows how these social enterprises have maintained their social purpose and inhibited the course of organizational economization. We identify three deceleration strategies: involving volunteers, direct trading partnerships with producers, focusing on the sa…

Escalation of Governance: Effects of Voluntary Standardization on Organizations, Markets and Standards in Swiss Fair Trade
Voluntary standards are a ubiquitous phenomenon in modern society that has recently started to attract sociologists' profound interest. This paper concentrates on formal standardization over the long term and seeks to understand its effects on the coordination of an organizational field. Using an institutional approach we see standards as a form of governance that can be analytically distinguished from other modes of coordination, such as markets…
