Estudo da adoção da teoria institucional na investigação em contabilidade

Abstract

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a adoção da teoria institucional como lentes teóricas na investigação em contabilidade. Procedi assim, à pesquisa de artigos no período entre 2005 e 2014 que tivessem recorrido a esta teoria no desenvolvimento dos trabalhos de investigação conduzidos. Conduzi esta pesquisa nos seguintes seis journals de topo na área da contabilidade: (1) Accounting, Auditing & Accountability (AAA); (2) Accounting, Organizations & Society (AOS); (3) British Accounting Review (BAR); (4) Critical Perspectives on Accounting (CPA); (5) European Accounting Review (EAR); e (6) Management Accounting Research (MAR). Tendo em conta, o período e os journals mencionados, nesta análise foram consideradas as seguintes variáveis: (1) autores; (2) género dos autores; (3) países afiliados dos autores; (4) método de investigação escolhido; (5) temas abordados; e (6) associação entre continentes e método de investigação. Os resultados deste estudo mostram que existem mais investigadores do sexo masculino (mais de dois terços) do que feminino a adotar a teoria institucional nos seus estudos de investigação. Tendo em conta os países a que os autores são afiliados, pode-se constatar que, a maioria pertence a universidades europeias, americanas ou da Oceânia. Os métodos de investigação privilegiados são arquivos históricos (AH) e case study (CS). A nível de temas, management accounting change (MAC), teoria institucional (TI) e new institutional sociology (NIS) são considerados os mais investigados nos artigos estudados. Finalmente, a associação entre continentes e método de investigação indica que os continentes mais conservadores (América) preferem AH e os mais modernos (Europa, Oceânia) optam por CS.

This study aims to analyze the adoption of institutional theory as theoretical lenses in research in accounting. To achieve this goal, I proceeded to do an article search between 2005 and 2014, to analyze who had resorted to this theory as a support developing new research. The journals researched were six top journals in the field of accounting: (1) Accounting, Auditing & Accountability (AAA); (2) Accounting, Organizations & Society (AOS); (3) Accounting Review British (FAB); (4) Critical Perspectives on Accounting (CPA); (5) European Accounting Review (EAR); and (6) Management Accounting Research (MAR). Given the time period and journals mentioned, in this investigation, the following variables were considered: (1) authors; (2) gender of the authors; (3) Affiliate countries of the authors; (4) chosen method of investigation; (5) themes; and (6) association between continents and investigation method. The results of this study show that there are more researchers male (over two thirds) than women to adopt the institutional theory in their research studies. Taking into account the countries to which the authors are affiliated is easy to see that the majority belongs to European universities, American and from Oceania. The privileged research methods are historical archives (AH) and case study (CS). In terms of themes, management accounting change (MAC), institutional theory (IT) and new institutional sociology (NIS) are considered the most investigated in the articles. Finally the association between continents and research method indicates that the most conservative continents (America) prefer AH and the most modern (Europe, Oceania) opt for CS.
