Conceived as the meanings that individuals attach to their selves,
a substantial stockpile of theory related to identities accumulated
across the arts, social sciences, and humanities over many decades
continues to nourish contemporary research on self-identities in
organizations. In times which are more reflexive, narcissistic, and
fluid, the identities of participants in organizations are
increasingly less fixed and less certain, making identity issues
both more salient and more interesting. Particular attention has
been given to processes of identity construction, often styled
'identity work'. Research has focused on how, why, and when such
processes occur, and their implications for organizing and
individual, group, and organizational outcomes. This has resulted
in a burgeoning stream of research from discursive, dramaturgical,
symbolic, socio-cognitive, and psychodynamic perspectives that most
often casts individuals' efforts to fabricate identities as
intentional, relational, and consequential. Seemingly intractable
debates centred on the nature of identities - their relative
stability or fluidity, whether they are best regarded as coherent
or fractured, positive (or not), and how they are fabricated within
relations of power - combined with other conceptual issues continue
to invigorate the field. However, these debates have also led to
some scepticism regarding the future potential of identities
research. Yet as the chapters in this Handbook demonstrate, there
are considerable grounds for optimism that identity, as root
metaphor, nexus concept, and means to bridge levels of analysis has
significant potential to generate multiple compelling streams of
theorizing in organization and management studies.
