Handbook of research methods for studying identity in and around organizations : usual suspects and beyond

edited by Ingo Winkler (Associate Professor of Organization Studies and Leadership, Department of Business and Management, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark), Stefanie Reissner (Professor of Work and Organization Studies, Essex Business School, University of Essex, UK), and Rosalía Cascón-Pereira (Associate Professor in HRM, Department of Business Management, University Rovira I Virgili, Spain)

"This practical yet cutting-edge Handbook includes both established and innovative methods for studying identity in management, organisations, and cognate fields. Incorporating a breadth of narrative, visual, ethnographic and embodied methods, as well as ways for analysing naturally occurring data, this Handbook offers exciting new interdisciplinary perspectives on the study of identity in and around organisations. Notions of identity have gained much momentum in organisation and management studies over the past 20 years, however, identity scholars tend to rely on a limited set of methods in their research. Looking beyond narrow disciplinary boundaries, the Handbook draws on ideas from management studies, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and the arts. With cutting-edge methods on the various facets and dynamics of identity, it is integral reading for the future progress of reflexive and dialogical social constructions for studying identity. This refreshing Handbook will be valuable to scholars and students from a variety of disciplines including business and management, psychology and sociology, but with a common interest in studying identity in and around organisations. With consistent practical methodology, consultants, facilitators and management practitioners, who aim to develop identities among individuals, groups, and organisations will also benefit widely from this"--
