Organizational Identity Comparison, Organizational Identification, and Organizational Commitment

The present symposium brings together multiple approaches on organizational identity comparisons and important individual-level outcomes, such as organizational identification and a wider range of phenomena. From the presentation of four different contexts, methodologies, and approaches, this symposium promises to highlight opportunities and limitations of using organizational identity comparisons in identity research. In a final discussion, David Whetten will share his thoughts, reactions, insights, and concerns, along with suggestions for moving forward, both methodologically and theoretically.
