Multiple Identities and Work Motivation

Multiple Identities and Work Motivation: The Role of Perceived Compatibility between Nested Organizational Units


In the modern context social identification play a major role within organizations and pay more attention towards typical work place offers multiple foci or targets of identification. Because of this employees are willing to develop multiple identifications at the work place. For example; employees may identify with their supervisors, occupations, workgroups or the organization at the same time. This multiple identifications are more focused towards the employees’ respective correlation with the potential outcome. This research was mainly focused on to explore the how perceived compatibility between the two foci correlates and work motivation.

Cooperative network can be defined as associations of legally independent organizations that pursue common goal and have a common cooperate identity. Cooperate network involves more than one organization. Network typically deals with the functional operations within organization, such as marketing activities, negotiations with suppliers, supplying certain good and services, etc.

Moreover organizations are involved highly significant employees and one of these merging organizations plays an important role throughout the merging process. 

The questionnaire of this study included following measures.

  • 1.     Perceived compatibility between store and network
  • 2.     Identification between store and network
  • 3.     Performance intentions of store and network

Store and network motivation referred to 3 types of work behaviour. They are in role, extra role and anti role. There are 3 limitations in this study.

  • 1.     Model is considered only for data capture
  • 2.     Self report measures
  • 3.     Only use specific context 

So this study allows only for tentative conclusions. Specifically findings are consistent with perceived store network compatibility strengthens, benefits of the individual network worker. Another finding is store identification correlates negatively with network motivation when all other postulated causes of the latter variable are controlled. This research should continue to explore differences between facets of compatibility. And this study suggests store network. Compatibility plays a crucial role in network identification and motivation.

  1. Perceived compatibility within nested organizational units is a measure of to which various divisions, departments, or teams within an organization regard its objectives, principles, plans of action, and methods of operation as complementary and in harmony. This idea focuses on how various units work well together within the overall organizational framework.

  2. Agreed. You draw attention to how social identity in contemporary organizations is changing. The focus on many foci or targets of identification is pertinent in today's work contexts since employees tend to identify with different components of their jobs, organizations, workgroups, and supervisors.

  3. Agreed with you. "In the intricate tapestry of our lives, we often find ourselves donning multiple identities – the dedicated professional, the caring friend, the passionate hobbyist. Just as these facets of our existence weave together, so too do they shape our work motivation. Embracing and harmonizing our diverse identities can propel us to new heights of achievement, as each facet contributes a unique thread of motivation to the grand design of our success."

  4. I agreed with you Lakmal. Actually this article delves into the intricate dynamics of multiple identities in the workplace and how they influence work motivation. It highlights the importance of perceived compatibility between various organizational units in fostering these identities. The study's focus on the interplay between store and network motivation adds valuable insights to the field of organizational psychology. However, it's worth noting the limitations in terms of data capture, self-report measures, and the specificity of the context studied.
