Tóm tắt

Processes of certification and evaluation are some of the most powerful institutional forces in organizational fields, and in the higher education field, rankings are a primary factor in assessing organizational performance. This article explores the institutional effects of the U.S. News & World Report undergraduate rankings on the reputational assessments made by senior administrators at peer universities and liberal arts colleges. In the estimation of structural equation models we found that published college rankings have a significant impact on future peer assessments independent of changes in organizational quality and performance and even of prior peer assessments of reputation. © 2009 by The University of Chicago.
