Relational Versus Collective Identification Within Workgroups
区分了工作小组中两种员工认同：源于成员间关系的关系认同和源于小组整体特征的集体认同，通过三个独立样本验证了它们的区别、前因和后果。
This article distinguishes between two types of employee identification developed in organizational workgroups: (1) relational identification, which arises from connections and role relationships with other members in a workgroup, and (2) collective identification, which arises from the shared characteristics of a workgroup as a whole. Using three independent field samples, the authors generated new, context-specific measurements for relational and collective identification using an inductive, multistage approach; established their construct validity; and provided evidence for their differential antecedents and consequences in organizational workgroups. Results indicate that relational and collective identification are distinct constructs and that they are embedded in separate nomological networks.
