  • 1.  request for measures for shared identity and collective identity ambguity

    Posted 03-18-2017 12:14
    Dear colleagues,

    We are conducting a research on shared identity and collective identity ambiguity in workplace and team contexts and looking for measures for this two variables.

    Currently we only have a pictorial measure for shared identity from:
    Hinds, P. J., & Mortensen, M. (2005). Understanding conflict in geographically distributed teams: The moderating effects of shared identity, shared context, and spontaneous communication. Organization science, 16(3), 290-307.


    And we are not aware of measures for collective identity ambiguity.

    If you know such measures, please kindly let us know.

    Tons of thanks!

    best,
    Guozhen

    Dear Guozhen,

    thanks for sharing this pictorial measure. If you are just interested in the extent to which people identify with their team co-workers, probably it might be just wise to look for team identification constructs. 

    If instead you are interested to understand who identify with whom and to what extent, I suggest you have a look at this paper (measurement section and reference therein): 

    Shemla, M., Meyer, B., Greer, L., & Jehn, K. A. (2014). A review of perceived diversity in teams: Does how members perceive their team's composition affect team processes and outcomes?. Journal of Organizational Behavior.

    With respect to identity clarity, check for 'prototype clarity' in this paper, this might be of help:

    Chattopadhyay, P., George, E., & Lawrence, S. A. (2004). Why does dissimilarity matter? Exploring self-categorization, self-enhancement, and uncertainty reduction. Journal of Applied Psychology, Vol. 89, No. 5, pp. 892-900

    I have worked out, based on the literature, a measure of shared identity within teams, unfortunately my paper is under review now and I cannot share its content. 

    Hope this helps

    Best

    Dear Guozhen,

    I recommend taking a look at Kreiner and Ashforth (2004) for measures of organizational identity strength and incongruence. 
    You may be able to adapt these to the team referent. 

    Best wishes,
    Ninja.

  • 4.  Open Access Book: Big Data in Organizations and the Role of Human Resource Management. A Complex Systems Theory-Based Conceptualization

    Posted 03-20-2017 09:15
    Dear list,

    apologies for cross-posting. My book "Big Data in Organizations and the Role of Human Resource Management. A Complex Systems Theory-Based Conceptualization" was recently published and the digital version is available for free here: http://www.oapen.org/search?identifier=625772

    Here is a short abstract: Big data are changing the way we work as companies face an increasing amount of data. Rather than replacing a human workforce or making decisions obsolete, big data are going to pose an immense innovating force to those employees capable of utilizing them. This book intends to first convey a theoretical understanding of big data. It then tackles the phenomenon of big data from the perspectives of varied organizational theories in order to highlight socio-technological interaction. Big data are bound to transform organizations which calls for a transformation of the human resource department. The HR department's new role then enables organizations to utilize big data for their purpose. Employees, while remaining an organization's major competitive advantage, have found a powerful ally in big data.

    I hope you find the book interesting and best regards,

    Tobias Scholz

    Hi Guozhen,

     

    You might try the measure of shared identity in Pilot Study 2 of the paper listed below – it uses the team as a referent so it may be more applicable to collective identity than to scales that measure individual-level identification with a group:

     

    Postmes, T., Spears, R., Lee, A. T., & Novak, R. J. (2005). Individuality and social influence in groups: Inductive and deductive routes to group identity. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 89(5), 747-763.

     

    Best wishes,

    Amanda
