Key Points

To evaluate the impact of institutional linkages on failure rates in child care service organizations, specifically examining their interplay with competitive intensity and internal organizational transformation.
Dynamic longitudinal analysis tracking child care service organizations in Metropolitan Toronto, Canada, between 1971 and 1987.
Assessed failure risks across organizations according to presence of institutional ties, organizational characteristics, external legitimacy, and restructuring events.
Organizations with institutional linkages exhibited a significant survival advantage, with protective effects increasing as the intensity of competition escalated.
The survival benefit was significantly moderated by organizational characteristics, the external legitimacy of the institutional ties, and organizational transformations.
