Abstract: | There is a long, interdisciplinary tradition of examining why organizations remove privileges from members as a part of disciplinary
action. In contrast, little is known about why organizations return privileges after disciplinary action has occurred. Nonetheless,
such reinstatement is ubiquitous in organizations. This paper provides a starting point for a theory of reinstatement by using
the emerging theoretical domain of relationship repair. Treating reinstatement as relationship repair highlights the importance
of causal attribution, social equilibrium, relationship structure, and power as means of relationship repair. The paper uses
these four bases of relationship repair to develop a series of specific motivations for why managers might reinstate privileges. |
