Constructing Professional Identity: The Role of Work and Identity Learning Cycles in the Customization of Identity Among Medical Residents
通过对医学住院医师的六年定性研究，发现工作与身份不匹配触发身份定制过程（丰富、修补或加固），这些过程通过工作和身份学习循环实现，对理解职业身份构建有重要意义。
Through a six-year qualitative study of medical residents, we build theory about professional identity construction. We found that identity construction was triggered by work-identity integrity violations: an experienced mismatch between what physicians did and who they were. These violations were resolved through identity customization processes (enriching, patching, or splinting), which were part of interrelated identity and work learning cycles. Implications of our findings (e.g., for member identification) for both theory and practice are discussed.
