Classifying Managerial Responses to Multiple Organizational Identities
研究多重组织认同现象,提出管理者可通过改变认同数量或关系来管理,并基于多元性和协同性两个维度,将管理回应分为隔离、删除、整合和聚合四类,同时探讨影响这些回应使用的关键条件。
We examine the phenomenon of multiple organizational identities and suggest that they can be managed in organizations by changing the number of (identity plurality) or relationships among (identity synergy) the identities. Using “plurality” and “synergy” as response dimensions, we offer a classification scheme identifying four major types of managerial responses: compartmentalization, deletion, integration, and aggregation. We also suggest several key conditions that may affect the use and appropriateness of these identity management responses and develop a series of propositions for research.
