我们调查的过程中参与形成一个组织的身份，我们研究了在成立一个独特的新学院，通过使用一个解释性的，内部-外部的研究方法。涌现扎根理论模型表明，组织身份是通过八个显著过程的相互作用形成的，其中四个过程或多或少是连续的，阶段性的-（1）阐明愿景，（2）体验意义空虚，（3）参与经验对比，（4）在一个一致认同的基础上再加上与两个或两个以上连续阶段相关的四个循环过程：（5）协商身份主张，（6）获得最佳独特性，（7）执行阈行动，（8）吸收合法化反馈。研究结果表明，内部和外部，以及微观和宏观的影响，影响了组织形象的锻造。此外，我们发现，社会建设和社会行动者的身份相关的过程不仅密切相关的组织身份的形成，但这些过程也是相互构成的创造一个可行的身份。（圈）
We investigated the processes involved in forming an organizational identity, which we studied during the founding of a distinctive new college by using an interpretive, insider-outsider research approach. The emergent grounded theory model suggests that organizational identity formed via the interplay of eight notable processes, four of which occurred in more-or-less sequential, stage-like fashion-(1) articulating a vision, (2) experiencing a meanings void, (3) engaging in experiential contrasts, and (4) converging on a consensual identity-plus four recurrent processes that were associated with two or more of the sequential stages: (5) negotiating identity claims, (6) attaining optimal distinctiveness, (7) performing liminal actions, and (8) assimilating legitimizing feedback. The findings show that internal and external, as well as micro and macro influences affected the forging of an organizational identity. In addition, we found that both social construction and social actor views of identity-related processes were not only germane to the formation of organizational identity but that these processes were also mutually constitutive in creating a workable identity.(circle)
