Abstract:
Abstract The previous chapter reviewed the notion of organizational identification and outlined the main theoretical explanations for the occurrence of identification in organizations, namely, mechanisms associated with identity, exchange and justice processes. This chapter now illustrates the research methods adopted in this book. More specifically, it outlines the epistemological approach taken and acknowledges its main considerations, id est measurement, directional causality and replicability issues. The organizational context, including the workforce make-up and an attempt to understand the organization’s status is discussed in the first part of this chapter as well. In the second part of the chapter, I discuss the technical aspects of the research, including presenting an outline of the research procedure, the main sample characteristics, the analytical strategy adopted for all analyses, along with an illustration of all study variables and their key psychometric properties.
