Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the social resilience of economic organizations against institutional anomie at the level of non-governmental economic organizations (Iranian Home Appliance Industry Association) with an institutional analysis approach. The research was conducted from 1399 to 1400. The type of research method is qualitative and the type of data analysis method is inductive thematic analysis. The data collection technique was episodic interview. The research population includes all members of the association, 21 of whom were purposefully selected. Findings showed the foundations of institutional anomie can be traced at both macro and micro levels. At the macro level, the change of fundamental structures, the establishment of society in a state of transition, and the emergence of new spirits in Iranians led to the creation of the mentioned anomie. At the micro level, the failure to achieve common values and ideals paved the way for anomie, and the inconsistency of actors' cultural tools and rules to achieve a common goal, the quest for transformation, exacerbated that anomie. Contrasting to Merton's theory of anomie, in this study it was found that, it is possible for actors to act simultaneously in the form of two or more of these cultural patterns. Given the simultaneous commitment of the members of that association to the model of "adaptation and conformity" plus "innovation and innovation", the model of "transformational adaptation" can be added to the models mentioned by Merton that Indicates creative resilience
