Abstract: Despite increasing interest in discontinuous organizations and new forms of work, our understanding of how iterative organizations achieve organizational identity consistency over time remains limited. On the basis of our analysis of the Disaster Response Teams organization, a corporate volunteering program of Deutsche Post DHL, we identify four organizational enablers fostering identity consistency that primarily occur during phases of dormancy: connecting organizational episodes, preparing organizational episodes, expanding organizational interaction, and alternative organizational interaction.
