Resumen

El presente artículo tuvo como finalidad analizar tres modelos teóricos para explicar los procesos de cambio organizacional bajo la perspectiva de control externo, siendo ellas: la teoría contingente, la teoría de dependencia de recursos y la teoría de la ecología de las poblaciones. El trabajo, de carácter teóricodescriptivo y sustentado en una rigurosa revisión bibliográfica, permitió ofrecer un marco de proposiciones de cara a integrar elementos comunes entre las teorías señaladas y aportar reflexiones para la comprensión del cambio frente a las circunstancias del entorno. Las conclusiones más relevantes dan cuenta de una complementariedad entre los distintos modelos, permitiendo explicar desde las perspectivas abordadas, el impacto de los cambios en el diseño estructural, el comportamiento y desempeño de la organización.

Abstract

This article is aimed at the analysis of three theoretical models that explain organizational change processes from the perspective of external control, namely, the contingency theory; the resource dependence theory; and the population ecology theory. The theoretical-descriptive work, based on a rigorous literature review, made it possible to provide a framework of propositions with a view to integrating common aspects of the aforementioned theories and providing insights for understanding change in light of surrounding circumstances. The most relevant conclusions show that the various models are complementary to each other and provide an explanation of the impact of change on structural design, behavior, and organizational performance from various perspectives.

Keywords:
External control

Resumo

Esse artigo teve como objetivo analisar três modelos teóricos para explicar os processos de mudança organizacional a partir da perspectiva do controle externo, sendo elas: a teoria contingente, a teoria de dependência de recursos e a teoria da ecologiapopulacional. 0 trabalho, de caráter teórico e descritivo e baseado em uma rigorosa revisão bibliográíica, permitiu fornecer um quadro de propostas de forma a integrar elementos comuns entre as teorias assinaladas e fornecer informações para a compreensão da mudança perante as circunstâncias do meio ambiente. As conclusões mais relevantes encontram uma complementaridade entre os diferentes modelos, permitindo explicar segundo as perspectivas abordadas, o impacto das mudanças na concepção estrutural, no comportamento e no desempenho or ganizacional.
