AB - The purpose of this research is to examine the institutionalization of Multicultural Family Support Centers through the new institutional perspective. For the empirical analysis, I rely on event history analysis(EHA). In recent years, multiculturalism has become taken-for-granted and Multicultural Family Support Centers have been rapidly diffused in a standardized way at the local level. According to new institutional theory, institutionalism is viewed as the social process by which individuals or organizations come to accept a shared definition of social reality for maintaining organizational legitimacy or survival. In particular, DiMaggio and Powell (1983) suggest three forms of institutional isomorphism which may operate in the process of obtaining organizational legitimacy; coercive isomorphism, mimetic isomorphism, and normative isomorphism. Thus, this article assumes that institutional isomorphism has served to expedite the institutionalization and legitimization of Multicultural Family Support Centers. Additionally, internal sources within the organization also positively affect institutionalization through maintaining functional efficiency. The major findings of this study are as follows: Firstly, coercive and normative isomorphism primarily influence institutionalization. Secondly, internal sources of organization partly affect institutional diffusion. The implication of these findings is that institutionalization occurs as a consequence of both the institutional environment and strategic action of the agency itself.
