Bireyleri ortak bir amaç etrafında örgütleyen ve sayıları giderek artan örgütlerle birlikte; bu örgütler de aynı zamanda üyelerinin diğer biçimsel örgütler olduğu örgütler şeklinde tanımlanan meta-örgütler şeklinde örgütlenmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, örgüt çalışmaları alanında 2005-2022 yılları arasında meta-örgütlenme yazınının nasıl evirildiğini ortaya koymaktır. Meta-örgütler ve meta-örgütlenme yazınındaki üretim dinamiklerinin incelendiği 59 çalışmadan yola çıkarak, ortaya konulan bilimsel bilgi birikiminde öne çıkan kriterler tanımlanmakta, amaç ve işlevler, meta-örgütlerin oluşumu ve dinamikleri ile çevre ilişkileri esas alınarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bulgularımız, mevcut yazının farklı ekollerin varlığı nedeniyle parçalı bir görünüm gösterdiğini vurgularken; meta-örgütlerin birbirinden farklılaşması, değişim ve dinamikleri, eylem ve sonuçları üzerine çalışmaların büyük zorluklar (grand challenges) bağlamında, örgüt kuramları yazını ile bütünleştirilerek önemli bir araştırma potansiyeli taşıdığı söylenebilir.

Organizations Organizing Organizations: A Review of Meta-organizations

Öz

As the number of organizations that organize individuals around common goals increases, these organizations are also organized into meta-organizations, defined as organizations whose members are other formal organizations. This study aims to reveal how the meta-organization literature has evolved from 2005 to 2022. By analyzing 59 studies on the production dynamics of meta-organizations in the relevant literature, we evaluate the classifying criteria in the scientific knowledge and discuss extant research regarding meta-organizations’ purpose and functions, formation and dynamics and relations with the environment. Our findings hint the fragmented nature of the literature due to different schools of thought. We also draw attention to variations between meta-organizations, change and dynamics, and the actions and outcomes through integration with organization theories in the context of grand challenges that possess significant research potential.
