Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, I empirically test and determine the impact of organizational identification in university settings. The chapter outlines how a potential impact of organizational identification in university settings might be established and tested, and concludes that organizational identification is likely to operate as a potential driver for employees’ heightened levels of individual initiative and loyal boosterism — elements associated with contextual performance or organizational citizenship behavior. The chapter, furthermore, suggests that organizational identification should predict employees’ turnover intention negatively. The development of three hypotheses incorporating these arguments follows, and the results of the correlation analysis and the structural testing are reported. Finally, the chapter discusses the results of the structural model in light of the theoretical predictions highlighted throughout the chapter and the overall meaning of these results for organizational identification in such an organizational context.
