| Abstract: | The article examines organizational identity from a psychoanalytic viewpoint. Based on Lacanian theorizing, the article investigates how organizational identity discourse is informed by imaginary constructions of subjectivity. It is suggested that the collective construction of coherent, unitary, and definably organizational identity discourse is validated by and validates conscious but illusory constructions of the self. |
