| Tiivistelmä: | Changes in organizational (henceforth as: org-al.) structure, roles and technologies have led to an increasing appreciation of the complexities of org-al. membership. This paper explores how senior and middle managers in ambiguous roles make sense of their work identity and org-al. membership. Based on extensive interviews with human resource (HR) and org-al. development managers operating as 'internal consultants', it is argued that managers aim at developing a preferred identity balancing both org-ally distinctive and inclusive elements. Through analysis of the interview data, this study highlights the boundary dimensions around which managers in internal consulting roles develop such an ambivalent org-al. identification, the ways in which distinctive and inclusive aspects of identity are rationalized, and the constraints on the achievement of a preferred identity as an internal consultant. |
