Abstract: Abstract As outlined previously, organizational scholars have provided a number of different antecedents and predictor variables that are expected to influence individuals’ levels of organizational identification. To date, however, no study integrates and coalesces these different predictor variables into a more multi-faceted and comprehensive model which tries to explain the occurrence of identification in organizations. In response to this lack of an integrated approach to the study of organizational identification, this chapter (a) provides the theorizing of such a comprehensive model, namely, the Coalescence Model of Organizational Identification; (b) reports the results of the correlation analysis for the hypothesized relationships; (c) tests a mediated version of the model in line with the mediation-testing recommendations presented by Baron and Kenny (1986), Kelloway (1998), and MacKinnon et al. (2007); and (d) discusses the results against the background of existing literature on the processes and predictor variables of organizational identification.
