The purpose of this paper is to resolve the paradox that arises when to explaining institutional change. This problem called, "the paradox of embedded agency," was caused by reification of the concept of "institution" by new-institutionalism. The concept of institution has been reificated, and hence, institutional change has not been able to be explained. In DiMaggio (1988) , institutional entrepreneurs attempted to cope with this prpblem. But the concept of institutional entrepreneurs has given rise to the following contradictions. Peripheral actors have a motive to change institution,but they do not have resources to do so. Central actors have resources to change institution, but they do not have a motive to do so. The paradox will remain unsolved unless these contradictions are resolved. We believe that finding the motive of actors is a key to resolve these contradictions. Not only utilitarian motive that intends to exchange profitable resources and actson behavior of actors, but also informational motive and categorization that act on. It can be understood how actors can be driven to change institution by determining the relationship among these three factors. For this reason, this paper attempts to resolve the paradox by adopting the social identity theory, which integrates three factors.
