Abstract

This paper explores the hybridization processes within organizations through a systematic literature review. It aims to uncover how hybridization operates at multiple levels, leading to the formation of new organizational forms, governance models, and work practices across various industries. Although the literature on hybrid organizations is extensive, there is a significant gap in understanding how hybridization occurs dynamically across different analytical levels. This review identifies two primary pathways: emergent hybridization, where organizations adapt to external pressures, and deliberate hybridization, where hybridization is a strategic choice driven by specific organizational goals. Key findings highlight the interplay between institutional logics, organizations' strategic responses, and the implications for theory and practice. The review also identifies several research gaps, suggesting avenues for future research, particularly in understanding the long-term impacts of hybridization on organizational performance and resilience. By synthesizing existing literature, this paper contributes to developing a comprehensive understanding of organizational hybridization, offering valuable insights for scholars and practitioners interested in the evolution and management of hybrid forms.
