L’identification à l’organisation en contexte de changement. Le cas de la SNCF

Identification of employees to their organization is a challenging managerial issue particularly in the context of organizational change. From a review of the research on identification theories and an exploratory study of a French railway company (SNCF), the authors propose to explore how perceptions of organizational identity change influence organizational identification. By combining several concepts – the perception of organizational identity change, identification process, identification types and identity profiles – this paper presents an affinity of these notions which have been separated until now.
