Abstract

In this paper the connection between various organizational identity constructions and organizational socialization is discussed. The experience of insecurity in the modern working environment by individuals and organizations leads to institutionalization of management on part of the organizations and to institutionalization of employography on part of the working individuals. This impedes the coupling of individual and organizational identity as a foundation of permanent innovation and resilience.
