摘要
身份工作(identity work)指员工为创造、调整、协商、修改或摒弃身份而付出的努力.近年来,这一主题已成为管理心理学研究的热点.身份工作不仅可以解决个人所面对的身份紧张和身份威胁问题,还能对角色转换期间产生的多重身份进行协商,协调个人身份和所从事工作之间的矛盾,强化个人组织认同感.与身份工作相近的概念有身份协商和身份尝试;诱发因素包括身份威胁、身份需求、角色转换和身份紧张.而话语、有形物体或符号、行为及认知则是身份工作的主要方式.未来研究可重点关注身份工作的个体差异、文化差异、主动/被动性身份工作的差异,以及身份工作的具体过程和影响结果.
Abstract
Identity work is the effort of employees to create,adjust,negotiate,modify,or discard an i-dentity.In recent years,this topic has become a hot topic in management psychology research,but there is still no relevant literature in China.Identity work can not only solve the problem of identity tension and identity threats,but also negotiate the multiple identities generated during the role transition,coordinate the contradictions between personal identity and the work,and strengthen the sense of personal organiza-tional identity.The similar concepts of identity work are identity negotiation and identity plays,inducing factors include identity threat,identity needs,role transformation and identity tension.And discourse,tan-gible objects,or symbols,behavior,and cognition are the main ways of identity work.Future studies can focus on individual differences in identity work,cultural differences,differences in active/passive identity work,and the specific processes and impact outcomes of identity work.
