| Abstract: | The authors define organizational analogs for Mead's 'I' and 'me' and explain how these two phases of organizational identity are related. In doing so, they bring together existing theory concerning links between organizational identities and images, with new new theory concerning how reflection embeds identity in organizational culture and how identity express cultural understanding through symbols. The authors offer a model of organizational identity dynamics built on four processes linking organizational identity to culture and image. The also discuss the implications of their model in terms of two dysfunctions of organizational identity dynamics: narcissim and loss of culture. |
