    The impact of government's coercive power on the perceived legitimacy of Canadian post-secondary institutions

    Governments regulate and control organizations, yet their role in determining organizational legitimacy is largely unexamined. In the changing Canadian post-secondary landscape, legitimacy is an increasingly important issue for post-secondary institutions as they compete amongst themselves for access to ever-shrinking resources. Using an institutional theory framework, we analyze two examples of government policy and legislation relating to the organizational legitimacy of Canadian post-secondary institutions. Based on this analysis, we suggest a more nuanced understanding of the effects of government’s coercive power on organizational legitimacy.  Bien que les gouvernements contrĂ´lent et rĂ©glementent les organisations, leur rĂ´le quant Ă  la lĂ©gitimitĂ© de celles-ci est très rarement Ă©tudiĂ©. Dans le contexte variable de l’éducation post-secondaire au Canada, la question de la lĂ©gitimitĂ© revĂŞt une importance grandissante pour les institutions post-secondaires, puisqu’elles rivalisent entre elles pour l’obtention de ressources en diminution constante. En utilisant le cadre de la thĂ©orie institutionnaliste, nous analysons deux exemples de politiques et de lĂ©gislations gouvernementales en rapport avec la lĂ©gitimitĂ© organisationnelle des institutions post-secondaires au Canada. En fonction de cette analyse, nous suggĂ©rons une comprĂ©hension plus nuancĂ©e des effets du pouvoir coercitif du gouvernement sur la lĂ©gitimitĂ© organisationnelle
