1	Sustainability Commitment : A study how identity (in)congruence affects organizational commitment. Hansson, Gustav, Zätterqvist, Daniel January 2020 (has links) Sustainability has become an important topic in many parts of society. However, companies struggle to translate it into their processes. If an individual values sustainability but is not able to fulfill these values an individual may feel a discrepancy; it may force individuals to feel an (in)congruence in their identity, leading to the question, How does sustainability identity (dis)congruence affect commitment? To answer the question a theoretical model was developed from different nuances of identity theory and organizational commitment. A mixed-method was used to capture the data. The results indicate that dependent on commitment style, the organization may override their personal sustainability identities. Our observations indicate that affective committed individuals choose to justify both personal and organizational actions in order to mitigate value incongruent behaviors. The thesis ends with a chapter of managerial recommendations. / <p><strong>Grade</strong>: Pass with distinction (VG)</p> Affective Commitment Continuance Commitment Ideal Self Normative Commitment Organizational Commitment Organizational Identity Role-Identity Salience Sustainability Consciousness Sustainability Identity Undesirable Self Work-Role Identity Engagement.
