| Abstract: | In the field of organizational identity, theory development has far outpaced theory testing. Specifically, several researchers have proposed identity-based models of organizational identification but few have operationalized and tested them. In addition, virtually no research has explored how members identify with multiple-identity organizations. This study addresses these gaps and makes three contributions to identity theory. Results of the analyses show that organizational identity congruence has a significant effect on member commitment, and form-level identity congruence has significant effects on both cognitive and pragmatic legitimacy, lending support for the use of identity as a multilevel construct. These results provide empirical support for current identity-based models expanding their generalizability to include multiple-identity organizations. |
