Abstract
Building upon social identity theory, we examine the competing and complementary effects of organizational (pre-merger) identification and professional identification on employee identification with the post-merger organization. Our results demonstrate that if employees display both strong professional and organizational identification, they identify the least with the post-merger entity. Furthermore, we challenge the previously developed static pictures of identification processes. The relations between organizational (pre-merger) identification and professional identification, on the one hand, and employee identification with the post-merger organization, on the other, change over time. Overall, our study illustrates the importance of identity dynamics. |
