Social identities and commitments at work: toward an integrative model
这篇概念性文章区分了社会身份与工作承诺在本质意义、依附焦点、心态、自愿性和行为影响上的差异,提出情境和深层结构身份分别影响基于交换和价值的承诺,并探讨多重身份对员工的影响。
Abstract Although social identities and work‐related commitment are important aspects of employee attachment, distinctions between and relations among the two have not been clearly articulated. In this conceptual piece, we propose that identity and commitment are distinguishable in terms of their essential meaning, foci of attachment, mindsets, volitionality, and behavioral implications. We further suggest that situated and deep structure social identities are differentially antecedent to exchange‐based and value‐based commitments, and that commitment mediates, at least partially, the effects of identities on motivation and work behavior. Finally, we consider the implications of multiple identities for employees in different kinds of collectives (nested and cross‐cutting). Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
