This document discusses organizational identification and volunteer involvement. It defines organizational identification as an individual's feeling of oneness with an organization and experiencing its wins and losses as their own. The document then outlines expanded models of identification such as disidentification and narcissistic identification. The research question asks how extreme volunteer involvement affects narcissistic identification. The rest of the document describes a study of volunteers at an animal shelter, noting that some volunteers are more like staff while others are more like the public. It concludes by proposing possible implications of increased narcissistic identification through extreme volunteer involvement such as greater commitment and donations.

Work motivation and performance were analysed from the perspective of
social identity theory and self-categorisation theory. Central in this analysis
is the relation of organisational identification with the motivation to exert
effort on behalf of the collective. A theoretical analysis as well as a review
of empirical studies of the relationship of organisational identification with
motivation and performance leads to the conclusion that identification is
positively related to work motivation, task performance, and contextual
performance to the extent that (a) social identity is salient, and (b) high
performance is perceived to be in the group's or organisation's interest.
INTRODUCTION
The study of work motivation and performance forms one of the key issues
in research in organisational behaviour. Although a variety of motivations
may affect performance, and performance may be contingent on a multitude
of other factors, one of the more important factors affecting performance

ᴥ SUMMARY. Introduction: An increasing number of scholars argue that followers are a precondition for “successful”
organizations. Nevertheless, followership has received scant attention in the literature. Starting from a theoretical
analysis of the issue, this contribution aims to answer some questions regarding possible antecedents of Followers’
Active Engagement (F.AE), a specific followership behavior described by Kelley (1988, 1992), described in previous
works, which implies the propensity to take initiative, participate actively and be self-starters. Methods. A questionnaire
was administered to 390 respondents from heterogeneous work settings. The questionnaire includes a personal data
section and eight measures: F.AE; three personal/dispositional variables (extraversion, intellect, and avoiding coping),
three individual-organization interaction variables (organizational citizenship behaviors directed at individuals – OCBI
– and the organization – OCBO –, leader-member exchange), and a Lie scale as control variable. Data was analyzed
with PASW 18. After analyzing reliability and descriptives, the relationship between the variables was explored using
correlations and hierarchical multiple regression. Results. F.AE is related to six variables (25% explained variance). Three
were positively related: in decreasing order, OCBO, intellect, OCBI, and Lie scale. Conversely, avoiding coping and
gender were negatively related. Gender becomes significant only in the second step of the regression when dispositional
variables are included. Conclusions. This study adds to the understanding of followers’ Active Engagement, for example
by measuring some organizational dimensions as its antecedents, and has practical implications for training and human
resource management policies. Further studies should clarify the dynamics that influence followers’ behavior and
the dynamics of the mutual relationship between the leader’s and followers’ behavior, shedding light on the possible

The White Standard: Racial Bias in Leader Categorization

In 4 experiments, the authors investigated whether race is perceived to be part of the business leader
prototype and, if so, whether it could explain differences in evaluations of White and non-White leaders.
The first 2 studies revealed that “being White” is perceived to be an attribute of the business leader
prototype, where participants assumed that business leaders more than nonleaders were White, and this
inference occurred regardless of base rates about the organization’s racial composition (Study 1), the
racial composition of organizational roles, the business industry, and the types of racial minority groups
in the organization (Study 2). The final 2 studies revealed that a leader categorization explanation could
best account for differences in White and non-White leader evaluations, where White targets were
evaluated as more effective leaders (Study 3) and as having more leadership potential (Study 4), but only
when the leader had recently been given credit for organizational success, consistent with the prediction
that leader prototypes are more likely to be used when they confirm and reinforce individualized
information about a leader’s performance. The results demonstrate a connection between leader race and
leadership categorization.

Substantial progress has been made by underrepresented minor-
ities in Corporate America since the 1960s civil rights movement
knocked down opaque racial barriers and championed equal op-
portunity in organizational settings. Over time, African Americans
have come to occupy a greater percentage of entry-level positions
and more middle management roles (Tomaskovic-Devey et al.,
2006; U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2004). In addition, other
racial minority groups, such as Asian Americans (Takaki, 1989;
Woo, 2000) and Hispanic Americans (GAO Report, 2006), have
also made noticeable inroads at lower and middle levels in busi-
ness organizations. Although progress is evident at some positions,
racial minorities are still less visible in top leadership positions
than would be expected on the basis of population base rates (The
Alliance for Board Diversity, 2005; Corporate Board Initiative,
2006; Fortune, 2006; McCoy, 2007; Thomas & Gabarro, 1999).
Given that explicit racial barriers no longer exist, what is prevent-
ing well-trained racial minorities from advancing within the orga-

Utilizing role theory, we investigate the potential negative relationship between employees’ moral
ownership and their creativity, and the mitigating effect of ethical leadership in this relationship. We
argue that employees higher on moral ownership are likely to take more moral role responsibility to
ensure the ethical nature of their own actions and their environment, inadvertently resulting in them being
less able to think outside of the box and to be creative at work. However, we propose that ethical leaders
can relieve these employees from such moral agent role, allowing them to be creative while staying
moral. We adopt a multimethod approach and test our predictions in 2 field studies (1 dyadic-based from
the United States and 1 team-based from China) and 2 experimental studies (1 scenario-based and 1
team-based laboratory study). The results across these studies showed: (a) employee moral ownership is
negatively related to employee creativity, and (b) ethical leadership moderates this relationship such that
the negative association is mitigated when ethical leadership is high rather than low. Moreover, the
team-based laboratory study demonstrated that moral responsibility relief mediated the buffering effect
of ethical leadership. We discuss implications for role theory, ethicality, creativity, and leadership at
work.

Abstract: Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) is defined as the voluntary, pro-social behaviour of an individual which is not formally recognized by the reward system however that promotes the effective functioning of the organisation. The research on this concept gained momentum during 1980’s. However, the concept’s origin dates back to Veda era of Indian civilization. Many of the subsets of OCB like altruism, civic virtue are explained long before in Indian scriptures. The paper aims at finding a link between the revealed concept of OCB and the Indian management thoughts and practices.

Abstract
Champions are commonly suggested as a means of promoting the adoption of
information systems. Since there are many different definitions of the concepts
of champion and champion behaviour in the literature, practitioners and
researchers may be confused about how to exactly use these concepts.
A qualitative analysis of a single case study in a Swedish health-care organisation
enabled us to explain how different champion behaviours relate to each other
and how multiple champions interact. Combining our rich case observations
with an analysis of champion literature reveals how champion behaviours form a
coherent and meaningful whole in which networks of different types of
champions at different levels in an organisation utilise their network of relations,
their knowledge of the organisation and their insight into strategic decision-
making politics to time and orchestrate the framing of innovations and the
involvement of the right people. In conclusion, championing is a complex
performance of contextually dependent collective social interaction, varying
over time, rather than a heroic act of one individual promoting an idea. Future
studies need to focus more on how the relations between different champions
and their behaviours develop across innovations and over time, in order to
develop a richer understanding of championing.

Introduction
Since 1963, studies of both product and process innovations have identified
and confirmed the role of influential individuals associated with the success
of a technological innovation, so-called champions of innovation (Schön,
1963; Chakrabarti, 1974; Maidique, 1980; Howell & Higgins, 1990). Several
studies have specifically focused on the adoption of Information Systems
(IS) as a type of innovation (Curley & Gremillion, 1983; Howell & Higgins,
1990; Beath, 1991; Heng et al, 1999), confirming that lessons learned from
champion literature in general also hold for champions influencing IS
adoption. Even in health-care, the context of our case study, it has been
shown how champions contribute to a change of work practices (Soo et al,
2009) or IS adop ...
There is a long history of well-known global companies that have built cult-like followings among
customers and encouraged cultish behavior in their employees. Workplace cults are those with tight control by
management over how employees think and behave. To combat a cult-like environment, embrace dissent,
encourage communication, spark debate, value differing opinions, solicit feedback, promote critical thinking,
and allow people to ask questions. Tap into the individuality of all employees. Assimilate their unique strengths
and knowledge. Adhering to the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion will help prevent your organization
from becoming a cult or reversing the process once it is already in place

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

2. Organizational Identification
Individual’s feeling of oneness with an organization
Experience wins and losses as one’s own
Self-evaluative (prestige distinctiveness)
Specific type of social identification (targets)
Even in the absence of shared goals and values
(industry, catholic church)
(Ashforth & Mael, 1989; Mael & Ashforth, 1992)
3. Expanded Model
Disidentification (Elsbach, 1999)
Ambivalent Identification (Pratt, 2000)
Neutral Identification (Kreiner & Ashforth, 2004)
Narcissistic Identification (Galvin, Lange, and Ashforth,
2014) involves seeing the organization within the self,
not the self in the organization (CEOs and Top
Management Teams often studied)
Also over-identification
4. Research Question
How does extreme volunteer involvement affect
narcissistic identification?
5. Nonprofit Volunteers
Inductive ethnographic study (lack of theory)
Building theory, not testing it
Purposeful sample: animal shelter
Volunteers needed for operation
Large variation both within and between orgs.
6. Nonprofit Volunteers
Some are “staff-like”
Others are “public-like”
(Participant) observation and interviews
(Cleaning, feeding, dishes, socializing, multiple buildings,
fostering)
Jottings and field notes
Unreliable labor
Insider/outsider
Some structured interviews coded
7. Possible Implications
Increased commitment?
More organizational citizenship behaviors?
More hours volunteering?
Larger donations? (Boenigk & Helmig, 2013)
Narcisistic at bottom of org (Van Knippenberg & Schie,
2000)
