Identity in Organizations investigates the fundamental character of organizational identity and individual identification with an organization. Through the use of an unconventional conversational format the reader is drawn into a provocative discussion among key organizational scholars that focuses on three different paradigmatic views of identity: a functionalist perspective an interpretive perspective and a postmodern perspective. Similarities and distinctions among these ways of understanding are explored and numerous theoretical and practical insights are gained. This groundbreaking book concludes with a discussion of the relevance of identity as a construct in organizational study and observations on conversation and theory building. Many well - known scholars participate in the conversation including Jay Barney Denny Gioia Mary Jo Hatch Stuart Albert Anne Huff Judi Mc Lean Parks and Rod Kramer. Identity in Organizations will be of interest to professionals and students of organizational studies human resource management industrial psychology sociology of work psychology and organizational communication.
