Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur företagsledningen internt kommunicerar och effekten av intern kommunikation på organisationsidentifiering vid en större organisatorisk förändring. En kombination av kvalitativ och kvantitativ metod används vilken innehåller deskriptivstatistik av både det kvalitativa och det kvantitativa urvalet. Sju hypotestester genomförs på ett urval av 53 respondenter. Studien genomförs på ett företag i Sverige vilket nyligen genomgått en större organisatorisk förändring. Resultatet visar på en tydlig skillnad mellan ledarnas uppfattade effekter av deras interna kommunikation jämfört med medarbetarnas attityd. Resultatet visar också att ledarnas val av kommunikationskanaler stämde väl överens med vadmedarbetarna föredrar. Däremot finner vi att en tydlig kommunikationsplan saknas in omorganisationen. Vidare visar resultatet att medarbetarna uppvisar en hög grad av organisationsidentifiering efter den organisatoriska förändringen. Studien indikerar att organisationer bör fokusera på den interna marknadsföringen efter att de varit med i ett uppköpför att åstadkomma en hög nivå av organisatorisk identifiering inom organisationen och mellanmedarbetare. / The purpose of the study is to examine how the corporate management communicates internally and the effects of internal communication on organizational identification within a major organizational change. We use a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach including descriptive analysis on both the qualitative and quantitative samples. Seven hypothesis tests are conducted on a sample of 53 participants. The study is carried out at a specific company in Sweden that recently went through a major organizational change. Our findings reveal a difference in leaders perceived effects of their internal communication compared to what the employees perceived. On the contrary, our findings also reveal that the leaders use of communication channels fits well with the employees though a lack of a structured communication plan is identified. The findings also show that the employees show a high degree of organizational identification after the organizational change. The study indicates that organizations should focus on internal marketing after a merger or acquisition in order to gain a high level of organizational identification within the organizations and its employees. This thesis is written in Swedish.

Dans cette thèse, nous nous intéressons à la façon dont différentes organisations sont impliquées dans des relations inter-organisationnelles (RIO), en nous centrant sur le secteur culturel. Dans le cadre de méta-organisations cette recherche a pour but de mieux comprendre le déroulement des processus internes des groupes inter-organisationnels par l’analyse des relations entre les individus au sein de ces GIO. Nous souhaitons améliorer leurs chances de succès. Pour analyser les relations entre les individus au sein de ces GIO, nous introduisons le concept d’identification inter-organisationnelle et celui de la compétence collective. Nous considérons que ces deux concepts nous permettent de comprendre la réussite, la stagnation ou l’échec des méta-organisations. Nous allons montrer à travers cette recherche doctorale qu’il est nécessaire de développer une compétence collective, autrement dit, la compétence du collectif de travail inter-organisationnel sur le long terme, pour assurer le succès de la RIO, et que l’identification inter-organisationnelle joue un rôle déterminant dans ce processus. Ainsi, grâce à une étude de cas comparative à visée explicative, dans le secteur culturel, cette thèse propose un modèle qui permet de comprendre le lien entre l’émergence d’une identification et une compétence collective et de mettre en évidence des moyens de management qui permettent d’améliorer les relations inter-organisationnelles. / This thesis looks at the way different organizations are involved in inter-organizational relations (IOR), with a focus on the cultural sector. In the context of meta-organizations, the aim of this research is to better understand how the internal processes in inter-organizational groups take place by analysing the relationships between individuals within those groups. In so doing, we hope to improve their chances of success. To analyse these relationships, we introduce the concept of inter-organizational identification and that of collective competence. We believe that these two concepts can provide us with a better understanding of the success, stagnation or failure of meta-organizations. This doctoral research will demonstrate that it is necessary to develop collective competence, i.e. competence at the level of the inter-organizational working group in the long term, in order to ensure the success of IOR. It will also reveal that inter-organizational identification plays a crucial role in this process. Based on an explanatory comparative case study in the cultural sector, a model is proposed with which to understand the link between the emergence of identification and collective competence and to highlight the management approaches that can be used to improve inter-organizational relations.

[pt] Esta tese investiga como eventos organizacionais traumáticos que envolvem a identidade organizacional afetam os seus empregados. A pesquisa buscou esclarecer a produção de sentidos dos empregados a partir desses eventos e as implicações de dinâmicas identitárias nesse processo. A tese é composta por três estudos, cada um abordando questões específicas de pesquisa. O Estudo 1 foi realizado com empregados da Vale SA após o desastre de Mariana em 2015 e investigou os sentidos atribuídos pelos empregados da Vale S.A. ao desastre de Mariana. Os resultados apontaram que a manutenção do vínculo empregatício influencia a mobilização de mecanismos de defesa do self, e que a intensidade da identificação organizacional define a quantidade e intensidade dos mecanismos mobilizados; o Estudo 2 foi realizado com empregados da Petrobras SA após o escândalo de corrupção de 2014 e analisou como os líderes enfrentaram esses eventos e os processos pelos quais eles deram sentido em resposta à crise. Os resultados indicam que a liderança executiva influenciou o sensemaking por meio de uma estratégia de sensegiving com vistas à reparação da IO, afastando o malfeito e reforçando os seus aspectos positivos. Já a liderança intermediária assimilou o sensegiving, na medida em que ele atendeu as suas próprias necessidades de construção de sentido e defesa do self e; o Estudo 3 foi realizado com empregados da BR Distribuidora após a privatização da empresa em 2019 e revelou os elementos críticos e os processos por meio dos quais os empregados deram sentido ao evento traumático. Os resultados revelaram que a intensidade de ameaça ao self determinou se o empregado vivenciou o fim da IO como mudança - nos casos em que a ameaça foi percebida como menos intensa - ou como perda - nos casos em que ameaça foi percebida como mais intensa. Assim, processos sociais de associação (encontrados na literatura) e dissociação (que emergiram da análise) com vistas a defesa do self e produção de sentido foram mobilizados e os sentidos resultantes foram condicionados à intensidade de ameaça ao self, independentemente, da manutenção ou não do vínculo empregatício. Todos os estudos foram baseados em entrevistas em profundidade e dados documentais e tiveram a análise de conteúdo como ferramenta analítica. A tese contribui para a investigação de como os empregados reagem a eventos organizacionais traumáticos e como processos identitários condicionam a produção de sentido a partir desses eventos. / [en] This thesis investigates how traumatic organizational events involving the organizational identity affect employees. The research sought to clarify employees production of meanings from these events and the implications of identity dynamics in this process. The thesis comprises three studies, each addressing specific research questions. All three studies were based on in-depth interviews and documentary data and had content analysis as an analytical tool. Study 1 was carried out with Vale SA employees after the 2015 Mariana disaster, and investigated the meanings they attributed to the tragedy. The results showed the mobilization of several defense mechanisms, stronger in intensity and number among those still employed and highly identified with the company; Study 2 was carried out with Petrobras SA employees after the 2014 corruption scandal, and analyzed how leaders faced these events as well as the processes by which they responded to the crisis. The results indicate that top management leaders engaged in a sensegiving strategy to repaire the organizational identity, which sought to detach the wrongdoing from it while reinforcing its positive aspects. Middle level leaders assimilated the sensegiving, insofar as it met their own needs for meaning-building and self-defense; Study 3 was carried out with BR Distribuidora employees after the company s privatization in 2019, and unveiled critical elements and processes through which employees give meaning to such a traumatic event. The results suggest that the intensity of threat to the self experienced by employees is connected to the meanings they attributed to the end of organizational identity: as a change - in cases where the threat was perceived as less intense -, or as a loss - in cases where the threat was perceived as more intense. The analyses describes unfolding psicossocial processes of association (found in the literature) and dissociation (which emerged in the study). Resulting meanings seamed to be conditioned by the intensity of threat to the self, regardless the employment status employees mantained after the privatization. The thesis contributes to the investigation of how employees react to traumatic organizational events and how identity processes condition the production of meaning from these events.

[pt] A pesquisa objetiva explorar como o trabalho remoto afeta a identificação organizacional dos colaboradores e, por conseguinte, pode influenciar no seu desempenho e satisfação. Para fundamentar teoricamente o trabalho, foi realizada uma revisão da literatura sobre os impactos positivos e negativos do teletrabalho no cotidiano dos colaboradores e na sua identificação com a organização. Foi feito um estudo de caso, com abordagem qualitativa, entrevistas semiestruturadas com treze colaboradores de uma empresa de logística portuária que, atualmente realizam o trabalho remotamente, seja ele parcial ou integral. A análise se restringiu a colaboradores das unidades de negócio do Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo. Os resultados das entrevistas foram analisados à luz da literatura consultada, objetivando explorar quais as bases das relações de troca entre os entrevistados e as empresas nas quais atuam. Identificamos que, embora grande parte dos profissionais aprecie o teletrabalho e enfatize que esse modelo proporciona uma melhora na qualidade de vida, a presença no escritório ainda é um fator determinante para a identificação organizacional. Como desdobramento dessas percepções, os entrevistados, em sua maioria, sugeriram um modelo híbrido, onde se é possível manter o relacionamento e a identificação com a companhia e garantir a qualidade de vida que o teletrabalho proporciona. / [en] The research aims to explore how remote work affects employees organizational identification and, therefore, can influence their performance and satisfaction. To theoretically substantiate the work, a literature review was carried out on the positive and negative impacts of teleworking on employees daily work, and on their identification with the organization. A case study was carried out, with a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews with thirteen employees of a port logistics company, who currently carry out their work remotely, whether partial or full. The analysis was restricted to employees from the Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo business units. The results of the interviews were analyzed considering the literature consulted, aiming to explore the basis of the exchange relationships between the interviewees and the companies in which they work. We identified that, although most professionals appreciate teleworking, and emphasize that this model provides an improvement in quality of life, presence in the office is still a determining factor for organizational identification. As a result of these perceptions, most interviewees suggested a hybrid model, where it is possible to maintain the relationship and identification with the company and guarantee the quality of life that teleworking provides.

Durant des siècles, la religion a été considérée comme une entité extrêmement influente. Lentement et progressivement, les gouvernements ont pris la relève et gagné en puissance. De nos jours, quelques grandes entreprises prennent le relais (Cohen, 1988). Cependant, la recherche montre que les entreprises qui ne gèrent pas leur pouvoir de manière socialement responsable sont sanctionnées par la société (Davis, 1973). Pour cette raison, les PDG sont amenés à faire un usage intelligent et productif de leurs ressources, par le biais de la responsabilité sociale. La RSE est un phénomène important par le moyen duquel les employés acquièrent, par identification à l'entreprise, une identité sociale. Cette identification génère elle-même des comportements de citoyenneté organisationnelle (OCB). Il est nécessaire de procéder à une étude approfondie de ces comportements influencés par la RSE, en tenant compte de l'approche psychologique individualiste ou collectiviste de l'employé. Nous présentons ici un modèle optimal, testé empiriquement. Les résultats de cette recherche suggèrent aux entreprises d'utiliser intelligemment leurs activités opérationnelles pour répondre à un large éventail de besoins. / Ages ago, religion was an entity which was deemed as influentially powerful. Slowly and gradually, governments became the entities even with greater power to influence the circumstances. And now, some big corporations have taken over that power (Cohen, 1988) . Nevertheless, when power comes, along lingers responsibility. Research shows that businesses which do not handle their power in socially responsible manner, the society deprives it of that power (Davis, 1973). For this reason, CEO's now make intelligent use of their resources in order to be productive as well as socially responsible, in short they exhibit Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). CSR is such a powerful phenomenon which enables an employee to derive his/her social identity by identifying with the firm. Employees view their self as a depiction of their firm, when their firm behaves in a socially responsible manner. This resulting identification tends to generate organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). A need resides to conduct an deep study of employee behavior influenced by CSR while considering the individualist or collectivist psychological approach of the employee. This research plays its role in configuring the resulting behavioral patterns generated from the considerate behavior of the firm. We bring forward an optimal model, which is empirically tested. The findings support this research suggesting firms to cleverly utilize its operational activities to meet a broader range of needs.

En tillitsbaserad styrprincip efterfrågar värderingsdrivna organisationer som kan nyttja organisatoriska värdegrunder som styrmekanismer. Frågeställningar behandlade förhållandet mellan organisatorisk värdegrund i relation till organisationsidentifikation, professionell värdegrund och praktiserad värdegrund. En fallstudie tematiserades utifrån 11 intervjuer med enhetschefer och medarbetare från en kommunförvaltning. Utifrån frågeställningarna genererades tillhörande teman. Samstämmigheten med professionell värdegrund relaterade till temana gemensam grundsyn och tydlighet. Med praktiserad värdegrund till temana styrmekanism, konkretisering, samverkan och förut­sättningar. Förhållandet till organisationsidentifikation gav temana närhet, öppenhet, värdekongruens, tydlighet och rykte. Resultatet visade på upplevd samstämmighet mellan den organisatoriska värdegrunden och den professionella samt praktiserade värdegrunden med några avvikelser.  Den organisatoriska värdegrunden hade en del i identifikationsprocessen. Studien kan utveckla förståelsen om värde­grundens roll i identifikationsprocessen samt bidra till att organisationer som ämnar att bedriva värderingsstyrning ges en inblick i ett värdegrundsarbete och påverkande faktorer. Värdegrund kan användas som verktyg vid rekrytering och marknadsföring för att locka individer med önskvärda professionella värderingar.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det går att predicera hur väl den anställde talar om organisationen (mätt genom Employee Brand Equity Scale) utifrån prediktorerna arbetstrivsel (mätt genom The Generic Job Satisfaction Scale), organisationsidentitet (mätt genom Identification With a Psychological Group Scale) samt delaktighet (mätt genom Communication Satisfaction Questionnaire). En kvantitativ studie utfördes på en organisation inom stålindustrin. En enkät skickades ut och besvarades av 279 medarbetare. En multipel linjär regressionsanalys påvisade att ju högre delaktighet, arbetstrivsel och organisationsidentitet desto mer ökning gällande hur väl den anställde talar om organisationen. Prediktorerna förklarade tillsammans 61 % av responsvariabeln (hur väl den anställde talar om organisationen). Hur väl den anställde talar om organisationen kunde starkast förklaras genom prediktorn arbetstrivsel följt av prediktorerna organisationsidentitet och delaktighet. / The purpose of the study was to investigate whether it is possible to predict how well the employee speaks about the organization (measured by Employee Brand Equity Scale) based on the predictors of job satisfaction (measured by The Generic Job Satisfaction Scale), organizational identity (measured by Identification With a Psychological Group Scale) and participation (measured by Communication Satisfaction Questionnaire). A quantitative study was conducted on an organization in the steel industry. A survey was sent out and answered by 279 employees. A multiple linear regression analysis showed that the higher the participation, job satisfaction and organizational identity, the more increase regarding how well the employee speaks about the organization. The predictors together explained 61% of the response variable (how well the employee talks about the organization). How well the employee speaks about the organization could be explained most strongly by the predictor of job satisfaction followed by the predictors of organizational identity and participation.

This study examined the relationships among organizational identification,work-group identification and intent to leave of online volunteers in a nonprofit organization—OCEF. A total of 245 participants completed the online questionnaire. Consonant with previous research findings, organizational identification and work-group identification has positive relationships; however, the hypothesis that both organizational identification and work-group identification negatively predict intent to leave of online volunteers was not supported in the present study. Furthermore, the level of organizational identification and work-group identification of online volunteers were high, but did not have difference in this study.
