We investigate the impact on theory and implications to practice as the unique challenges and opportunities presented by these new collaborative interactions and exchange dynamics arise.

The Cognitive And Affective Components Of Organizational Identification, Brian O'Neill
The Cognitive And Affective Components Of Organizational Identification, Brian O'Neill
Faculty Presentations: Business
Extant literature has linked organizational identification (OID) to many vital organizational constructs and outcomes, such as job satisfaction, job involvement, work engagement, organizational affective commitment, organizational-based self-esteem, cooperation, creativity, extra-role and organizational citizenship behavior, work effort, intention to stay, decreased turnover intentions, and job performance. However, despite the identified benefits of organizational identification, a growing body of research has noted its dark side. For example, OID has been linked to identity lies, negative emotions, and unethical proorganizational behavior. At the same time, there is limited research examining the separate influences of the cognitive and affective components of organizational identification on …

University-based research continues to rely on industry partnerships to help support the innovation, exchange and application of new technologies.

This has put a spotlight on the need to address technology transfer from the university to industry, where the university often lacks the resources needed to assess the feasibility of market adoption of new technologies.
