合法性对于权威、机构或者制度化组织的成功是至关重要的,因为仅仅依靠对权力的占有和使用而对他人施加影响是十分困难的。在资源匮乏、危机和冲突时期,能够在大多数时间里得到大多数人的自愿服从可以提高组织的有效性。合法性的概念在社会思想和社会心理学领域有着悠久的历史,而最近在关于政治、法律和社会系统的作用机制的研究中,它变得越来越重要。 Legitimacy is crucial to the success of an authority, institution or institutional organization, as it is very difficult to influence others solely by the possession and use of power. In times of resource scarcity, crises and conflicts, being able to get most people’s voluntary obedience most of the time can increase the effectiveness of the organization. The concept of legitimacy has a long history in the fields of social thought and social psychology and has become increasingly important in recent studies on the mechanisms of action of political, legal and social systems.
