Who We Are Affects How We Do: The Financial Benefits of Organizational Identification
研究全球消费品公司的一个业务团队，发现组织认同能带来销售收益，且对上级业务单元的认同比近端认同更能预测销售业绩。
One ultimate test of the material value of identification in an organizational context is whether it relates to productivity. In this rare study of a business team in a global consumer goods company, we demonstrate a sales benefit of organizational identification when correcting for systematic between‐unit differences in sales. Findings also question the theoretical and practical meaning of ‘proximity’ in accounting for salience variations in identification – the best predictor of sales was the degree of identification with the superordinate business unit. Findings shed light on the scientific as well as managerial and business utility of the organizational identity concept.
