摘要：

Building on Scott's (1995) institutional theory framework, this article uses a microinstitutional approach to develop a model of the institutionalization of mindsets in a differentiated institutional field. This model is grounded in textual data involving the 1992 explosion at Westray Mines, illustrating how regulative, normative and cognitive elements contributed to the institutionalization of a harmful mindset of invulnerability that clouded individual perceptions of the inherent risks in daily work practices. This process culminates in organizational crisis.
