intézményei

Intézmény means an organization, establishment, or institution in Hungarian. The word intézményei is the possessive form used to refer to the institutions belonging to a person, organization, or system, i.e., the set of organizations that form the institutional framework of a subject. The term is widely used in everyday language as well as in administrative, academic, and policy contexts.

In social science and governance, institutions are the stable rules, norms, and organizations that structure social and economic life. They include formal entities such as ministries, universities, banks, hospitals, courts, and municipalities, as well as informal arrangements such as customs and professional practices. Institutions create incentives, enable coordination, and regulate or enable actions, while themselves being shaped by history, law, and culture.

Institutions can be public, private, or non-profit, and they may be funded publicly, privately, or through mixed financing. They operate within an institutional network or system, often described as an intézményhálózat or intézményrendszer, and they are subject to governance mechanisms, accountability, and reform processes. The phrase intézményei is used to discuss the totality of such organizations for a given subject, for example a state, a company, or a community; it helps characterize how power, resources, and services are organized and delivered.
