Work-based identity and work engagement as potential antecedents of task performance and turnover intention: Unravelling a complex relationship (2012, background): “In the available research it appears that work engagement shares two sub-concepts with work-based identity namely commitment (referring to the strength of an identity) and involvement (Macey & Schneider, 2008; Schaufeli et al., 2002; Stets & Burke, 2003).”
The relationship of self-determination theory variables to exercise identity (2011, background): “Identity formation reflects a series of ongoing processes between the individual and the social environment responsible for the adoption of values, roles, and beliefs by individuals over time (Ryan & Deci, 2003; Stets & Burke, 2003).”
Leadership, self, and identity: A review and research agenda (2004, background): “A person’s overall self is typically represented as a set of categories, each of which represents a distinct self or identity (Markus & Wurf, 1987; Showers & Zeigler-Hill, 2003; Stets & Burke, 2003).”
Relational Identity and Identification: Defining Ourselves Through Work Relationships (2007, background): “Thus, liaising and strategic planning may not be directly relevant to the manager’s relationship with a subordinate and would therefore be excluded from the manager-subordinate relational identity.”
How the interplay between consumer motivations and values influences organic food identity and behavior (2018, unknown): “In broad terms, self-identity relates to how individuals perceive their role in the social structure (Stets and Burke, 2003), which in turn may influence how individuals adopt expectations to accompany the role, and tend to act to represent these expectations (De Pelsmacker et al., 2016).”
Composing The Reflected Best-Self Portrait: Building Pathways For Becoming Extraordinary In Work Organizations (2005, background): “The self-concept is based on our observations of ourselves, our inferences about who we are (gleaned from others’ behavior to- ward us), our wishes and desires, and our evaluations of ourselves (Stets & Burke, 2003).”
Identity Negotiation at Work (2009, background): “In some cases, targets strive to reaffirm the initial identity by behaving in an even more extreme fashion (Stets & Burke, 2003; Swann & Ely, 1984; Swann & Hill, 1982; Swann & Read, 1981).”
New Directions in Identity Control Theory (2005, methodology): “Over time, the simple theory of correspondence became elaborated and more fully developed based upon a systematic program of research (Burke, 1991; Stets & Burke, 2003), especially with the incorporation of ideas based on perceptual control theory (Powers, 1973).”
Toward a public administration theory of public service motivation (2007, background): “One speaks of a role-identity (seeing oneself as holding a role), a social identity (seeing oneself as a member of a group) or a personal identity (seeing oneself as distinct from others), depending on the academic background of the discourse (Stets and Burke 2005).”
Identity Education: A Conceptual Framework for Educational Researchers and Practitioners (2011, background): “Sociologists have certainly demonstrated that identities can be powerfully conferred through social structure and educational institutions (eg, Cote, 1996 ; Stets & Burke, 2003 ).”
The Meaning of Work for Post-retirement Employment Decisions (2015, background): “Identity can be described as a social interaction between self and society (Stets & Burke, 2003).”
