Organizations operating in competitive environments habitually seek ever-new avenues to increase and optimize the performance of their individual employees. One popular device to increase employees' performance, especially those elements of performance that are left to the discretion of an individual, refers to the idea of creating a strong, meaningful psychological bond between an individual and an organization. Understanding Psychological Bonds between Individuals and Organizations looks at precisely this device and proposes a novel, integrated and comprehensive model which investigates the different mechanisms that help to explain such psychological bonds.

'Sebastian Fuchs breaks new ground in the study of why people identify with the organizations in which they work. He has produced a very welcome book, which is highly readable and brings a host of new insights into this exciting area of research.' - Professor David Marsden, London School of Economics and Political Science 'This book integrates the different mechanisms of organizational identification in a novel and unprecedented way, building the foundation for any future work on why individuals develop strong, meaningful psychological bonds with their employing organizations.' - Professor Michael Muller-Camen, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria
