The dual legitimacy of an international non-governmental organisation (INGO) affiliate is critical to the INGO’s sustainable development, but few studies are found in the extant literature. Based on Kostova and Zaheer’s theoretical concept elaborating on organisational legitimacy under conditions of complexity, we conducted this study through the extended case method and used the grounded theory approach to examine the case study of the child organisation (CO) in Taiwan and its affiliate in Kyrgyzstan (CKO).Utilising an integrated framework elaborating on the INGO affiliate’s dual legitimacy (IADL), we examined the impact generated from the institutional environments in a multidimensional construct at the macro-, meso-, and microlevels.This study also explored the complexity of and interactions with the institutional environment that INGO affiliates might encounter. The findings of this study could serve as a guideline for INGO workers, policy makers and academicians.
