Generation of dilemmas in waste classification policy implementation in urban communities:A research from the perspective of multiple institutional logics
Bridging the gap between policy goals and policy implementation is a topic of common interest in both practical and academic communities.Identifying the mechanisms behind policy implementation dilemmas holds significant value in addressing this issue.This article introduces the theory of multiple institutional logics and adopts qualitative research methods to explore how the interaction of these logics leads to policy implementation dilemmas,using the case of waste classification policy implementation in 11 communities.The study finds that:1)Three competitive institutional logics,namely bureaucratic logic,market logic,and community logic,exist in the implementation of urban community waste classification policies.2)Bureaucratic logic takes the lead,characterized by policy pressure and goal control.3)Tensions arising from the coexistence of multiple institutional logics in dimensions such as policy attention,implementation networks,power-responsibility dynamics,and task-resource relationships drive diverse actors to adopt adaptive coping strategies.4)The coping strategies of diverse actors lead to policy goal displacement,mismatched policy tools and obscured policy values in implementation dilemmas.Therefore,this article argues that reconciling the relationships between multiple institutional logics and promoting positive interactions among them is a crucial entry point for overcoming the policy implementation dilemmas.
