“To institutionalize is to infuse with value beyond the technical requirements of the task at hand. The prizing of social machinery beyond its technical role is largely a reflection of the unique way in which it fulfills personal or group needs.

From the standpoint of the committed person, the organization is changed from an expendable tool into a valued source of personal satisfaction.”
