We propose that the decreasing influence of external actors in UH decision making and the increasing influence of UH and medical school actors as well as UH-medical school goal consensus will be related to higher levels of UH performance. Data are drawn from a national sample of 52 UHs that participated in a study of UH decision making in 1981 and 1985. Results indicate that state and university actors lost influence in UH policy decisions between 1981 and 1985, while actors internal to academic health centers (AHCs) gained influence in such decisions. The data indicate a similar trend, although not as strong, regarding influence in UH management decisions. Results from regression analyses indicate that decreasing levels of external influence on UH decisi...

Instead, we argue that institutional actors can use conflicting cultural values as tools to further their interests and, in doing so, affect significant social problems and cause unanticipated changes in their core goals and policies. To present support for that proposition, we describe an epidemic of work disability that occurred in the Netherlands between 1967 and 1988. The epidemic is examined in light of conflicting Dutch cultural conceptions of the meaning of work and the meaning of economic security in the welfare state. The behavior of key institutional actors, including the government, medical institutions, employers, and labor unions, is examined to identify their roles in the epidemic. We assert that, by pursuing its own interests while upholding Dutch cultural values, each institutional actor produced conditions in which the work disability epidemic could occur.
