| Abstract: | The ways in which employees make sense of their organization's response to a nontraditional and emotional strategic issue are investigated. The reported research also concerned microprocesses involved in organizational adaptation. It is described how the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, a regional transportation agency, dealt with the homeless people at its facilities and use that description to build a new view of organizational adaptation. It is argued that an organization's image and identity guide and activate individuals' interpretations of an issue and motivations for action on it, and those interpretations and motivations affect patterns of organizational action over time. |
