Social Identity and Self-Categorization Processes in Organizational Contexts
阐述自我归类理论如何解释社会分类和原型去人格化产生社会认同效应,并探讨这些过程在组织凝聚力、领导力、子群体结构及并购等情境中的应用。
Although aspects of social identity theory are familiar to organizational psychologists, its elaboration, through self-categorization theory, of how social categorization and prototype-based depersonalization actually produce social identity effects is less well known. We describe these processes, relate self-categorization theory to social identity theory, describe new theoretical developments in detail, and show how these developments can address a: range of organizational phenomena. We discuss cohesion and deviance, leadership, subgroup and sociodemographic structure, and mergers and acquisitions.
