- Abstract
This research sought to understand the motives driving the variations in organizational routines, within the context of chemical procurement for a Technology and Innovation Institute in Rio de Janeiro. This case study was based on 18 interviews and the analysis of more than 30 documents and empirical observations, in the period between August 24, 2015 and January 29, 2016. The results suggest a lack of integration and a misalignment of the interests and interpretations between the areas, thus incentivizing maintaining routines with structures, artifacts and bases inadequate for the context of chemical procurement, which are used in analysis and testing routines. Therefore, despite the creation of new standards of action that are better adapted to the context and can provide streamlining of procurement routines, consistent with the idea of flexibility of organizational routines advocated by the theory (Pentland & Feldman, 2005; Feldman, 2016), it is possible to observe that the progress towards the stabilization of the new routine may lack manifestations of truce that allow the revision of the use of the artifacts in the routines. The present work also revealed four categories on the motivating factors of the variations in the procurement routine, thus collaborating for the field of study of the Routine Dynamics and routines ecology (Feldman, 2016; Howard-Grenville & Rerup, 2017), with the understanding of the role of artifacts in the interactions between interdependent routines and about the Truce.
