- There is a limited understanding about how employee workplace identity impacts on behaviour within the workplace and more specifically how workplace identity relates to resisting workplace change. Regardless of many studies carried out on organizational change, the question of how a relationship exists between employee workplace identity and organizational change has been left unanswered. This book applies narrative theory as a conceptual bridge across identity and change. This work explores how employees derive a sense of workplace identity from the workplace narratives. This new lense allows us to view organizational change as the destruction of existing workplace narratives and adoption of new workplace narratives. A new theory is developed which explains how a relationship exits between identity and change. This new theory is further developed to explain how narrative theory creates a relationship between organizational identity, culture, leadership, conflict, and change.
