Hybrid organizations seek to respond to environmental and societal challenges by pursuing social goals while engaging in commercial activities; they are built on a paradox, combining different institutional logics, blending aspects of several organizational forms, and pursuing multiple goals simultaneously; thus, they are becoming a growing area of interest.

We aimed to answer these questions through a systematic literature review of 89 articles of leadership literature and hybrid organizations literature, and then a converged theoretical framework of paradoxes and strategies in hybrid organizations is proposed, where 11 paradoxes for hybrid organizations were identified, 7 mapped also in leadership literature and 4 unique to hybrid organizations; proactive strategies of acceptance, separation, and integration are included in the framework as well as sensemaking and paradoxical leadership as catalysts.
Le organizzazioni ibride cercano di rispondere alle sfide ambientali e sociali perseguendo obiettivi sociali mentre si impegnano in attività commerciali; si costruiscono su un paradosso, combinando diverse logiche istituzionali, fondendo aspetti di diverse forme organizzative e perseguendo contemporaneamente molteplici obiettivi; quindi, stanno diventando un'area di crescente interesse. Di fronte a questa natura paradossale, e sapendo che sociale vs. commerciale potrebbe non essere l'unica tensione sperimentata, sono sorte due domande: quali sono le tensioni che emergono in queste organizzazioni? e in che modo gli ibridi affrontano le tensioni paradossali? Abbiamo mirato a rispondere a queste domande attraverso una revisione sistematica della letteratura di 89 articoli di letteratura sulla leadership e letteratura sulle organizzazioni ibride, quindi viene proposto un quadro teorico convergente di paradossi e strategie nelle organizzazioni ibride, in cui sono stati identificati 11 paradossi per le organizzazioni ibride, 7 mappati anche nella letteratura sulla leadership e 4 unici per le organizzazioni ibride; strategie proattive di accettazione, separazione e integrazione sono incluse nel quadro così come la creazione di senso e la leadership paradossale come catalizzatori.

Abstract
Hybrid organizations seek to respond to environmental and societal challenges by pursuing social goals while engaging in commercial activities; they are built on a paradox, combining different institutional logics, blending aspects of several organizational forms, and pursuing multiple goals simultaneously; thus, they are becoming a growing area of interest. In view of this paradoxical nature, and knowing that social vs. commercial may not be the only tension experienced, two questions arose: what are the tensions that emerge in these organizations? and how do hybrids deal with paradoxical tensions? We aimed to answer these questions through a systematic literature review of 89 articles of leadership literature and hybrid organizations literature, and then a converged theoretical framework of paradoxes and strategies in hybrid organizations is proposed, where 11 paradoxes for hybrid organizations were identified, 7 mapped also in leadership literature and 4 unique to hybrid organizations; proactive strategies of acceptance, separation, and integration are included in the framework as well as sensemaking and paradoxical leadership as catalysts.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
