Social Identity Theory and the Organization
论证社会认同是对群体的一体感，源于个体分类、群体独特性与声望、外群体凸显等因素，并导致与认同一致的活动、支持体现认同的机构、对自我和他人的刻板印象等结果，适用于组织社会化、角色冲突和群体间关系。
It is argued that (a) social identification is a perception of oneness with a group of persons; (b) social identification stems from the categorization of individuals, the distinctiveness and prestige of the group, the salience of outgroups, and the factors that traditionally are associated with group formation; and (c) social identification leads to activities that are congruent with the identity, support for institutions that embody the identity, stereotypical perceptions of self and others, and outcomes that traditionally are associated with group formation, and it reinforces the antecedents of identification. This perspective is applied to organizational socialization, role conflict, and intergroup relations.
