Evaluating the Institutional Nature of the Organization Using the Network Analysis Process in a Gray Environment

Considering increasing importance of institutional management, so far no suitable tool has been presented for assessing the institutional nature of the organization by considering all the criteria and internal and external dependencies of the organization. . In addition to having a high value dimension, the institutional organization maintains its adaptability and flexibility in all situations and is constantly growing and excelling. In the most real world problems, there are different types of interdependencies between the elements in the problem, including interdependencies between decision criteria. Utilizing the gray theory, qualitative and uncertain information of experts is also included in this research. In this paper, the magnitude of organizational institutionalism is evaluated according to the related criteria and based on gray theory and Mackenzie's theory. This method is implemented in a real-case study. The organization under study is almost in a good position compared to the desired institutional status and is approximately 30% away from the desired institutional status.
