Q1. What contributions have the authors mentioned in the paper "Putting identification in motion: a dynamic view of organizational identification" ?
Ashforth et al. this paper found that the more an individual identifies with a particular social group, the more he or she perceives a sense of `` oneness with or belongingness to some human aggregate '' and invokes `` us '' or `` the authors '' languagewhen referring to a group instead of `` they ''.
Q2. What future works have the authors mentioned in the paper "Putting identification in motion: a dynamic view of organizational identification" ?
Their perspective invites future research about identification trajectories. The identification trajectory of someone with a past temporal focus might be more influenced by the positive or negative experiences of the past than his or her anticipation of the future, resulting in a different identification trajectory than someone with a future temporal focus. In addition, members who see themselves in a particularly heroic light ( e. g., Synnott 2009 ) might be more likely to view their relationship with the organization as improving in the future because of their heroic efforts to keep or put the organization on a positive course ( progressive or U-shaped trajectory ). Second, future research might explore additional moderators that influence the way individuals make sense of their identification trajectory and the proposed relationships between trajectories and outcomes.
Q3. What can trigger sensemaking about the self-concept?
Sometimes events can trigger sensemaking about the self-concept, and influence the way individuals identify with an organization, because they prompt new forms of introspection and social comparison.
Q4. What is the effect of the progression on the sense of loss and nostalgia?
On one hand, the experienced progression from the past enhances the perceived negativity of the anticipated regression in the future, heightening the sense of loss and nostalgia.
