Biography

Caroline A. Bartel, Steven Blader, Amy Wrzesniewski

"This book addresses a theoretical framework of current importance, relevance, and promise.  The book does so in a manner that's both communicative and empirically and theoretically sound.  It offers balanced blend of research, theory, and literature reviews and addresses current and diverse issues.  What's best...about this book is that it is thought provoking, especially through the effective use of integrative commentary...This book will be of substantial added value to a wide audience: from managers, to organizational development professionals, I/O psychologists, researchers and investigators, and practitioners in the fields of organizational behavior and dynamics, as well as social psychologists interested in social identity, and even clinical and counseling psychologists looking to broaden their understanding of the concept itself." - Leehu Zysberg, PsyCRITIQUES

"The editors are to be thanked for providing a rich and ready reference for understanding identity and identification so that a wide community of scholars can take up this call for future directions. This book represents...a vigorous effort by identity scholars to forge some kind of identity for their community, whose research spans disciplines, methods, and levels of analysis." - Maureen Scully, PsyCRITIQUES
