Abstract

Expanding and complex social realities cause new types of identity. Variety
in organizations and workgroups (where people are involved), implies a
special kind of social identity which can be defined as professional, organizational
or managerial. The study of the social identity processes in organizations
is a new interdisciplinary sphere that is presented especially commonly
in European Social Psychology. The result of its theoretical comprehension is
Social Identity Theory. In the article listed and analyzed, foreign theoretical
elaborations and empirical studies in the area: organizational identity and organizational
identification, social identity theory and leadership; labor motivation
and target designation, and amalgamations and differences in organizations.
