| Descripción: | Abstract Governments regulate and control organizations, yet their role in determin- ing organizational legitimacy is largely unexamined. In the changing Cana- dian post-secondary landscape, legitimacy is an increasingly important issue for post-secondary institutions as they compete amongst themselves for ac- cess to ever-shrinking resources. Using an institutional theory framework, we analyze two examples of government policy and legislation relating to the organizational legitimacy of Canadian post-secondary institutions. Based on this analysis, we suggest a more nuanced understanding of the effects of gov- ernment’s coercive power on organizational legitimacy.Résumé Bien que les gouvernements contrôlent et réglementent les organisations, leur rôle quant à la légitimité de celles-ci est très rarement étudié. Dans le contexte variable de l’éducation post-secondaire au Canada, la question de la légitimité revêt une importance grandissante pour les institutions post-secondaires, puisqu’elles rivalisent entre elles pour l’obtention de ressources en diminution constante. En utilisant le cadre de la théorie institutionnaliste, nous analysons deux exemples de politiques et de législations gouvernementales en rapport avec la légitimité organisationnelle des institutions post-secondaires au Canada. En fonction de cette analyse, nous suggérons une compréhension plus nuancée des effets du pouvoir coercitif du gouvernement sur la légitimité organisationnelle. |
