  1. Comments on Workplace self-concept Shyhjer Chen National Sun Yat-sen U.

  2. Workplace self-concept • What are the differences among workplace self-concept, organizational identity, and social identity? • The theoretical background of the new invented construct, WSC, is based on identity theory from sociology. Social identity discusses “who I am” in the “social context.” • The organizational identity discusses “who I am” in “organizations.” Not much literature has been cited in this manuscript from organization and management but from sociology and psychology.

  3. Workplace self-concept • What is difference between identity and identification? • The two terms are shown in Figure 1. • Identity answers “who I am”? (fact) • Identification involves the psychological affection with organizations?

  4. Workplace self-concept • The manuscript distinguishes six roles in workplace—employee, colleague, supervisor, subordinator, group member, and occupation/profession. • The first five are related to the roles in workplace and are more visible. The last—occupation/profession—seems to be untouchable. The last construct is significantly different from the first five.

  5. Workplace self-concept • When we talk about workplace self-concept, we can refer to different self-concepts in different organizational level. Which level of the manuscript focuses on? For example, as an employee, which level I identify myself? Organizational level? Team level? Or department level? • I am a professor.. I am a professor of National Sun Yat sen U. I am a professor at the Institute of HRM in NSYSU. I am a professor of College of Management of NSYSU.

  6. Workplace self-concept • The correlation co-efficients among WSE, OBSE and self-efficacy are around .50. Can we say that the three constructs are not discriminant to each other?

  7. Workplace self-concept • It is a very important part of “effects of WSC on organizational outcomes” in this paper to infer the two propositions. However, it only take a couple pages to discuss WSC and organizational outcomes. • How does WSC affect organizational outcomes “positively?”

  8. WSE= IjEj =I1E1+I2E2+……+I6E6

  10. Workplace self-concept • WSC is a multidimensional construct? • WSC is the components of identities and evaluations and is a formative construct? • WSC is an aggregate model? • If WSC is a aggregate model and formative form of identities and evaluations, Is it possible to test its validity by using CFA? • If WSC is a aggregate model and formative form of identities and evaluations, is it able to test discriminant validities to OBSE and self-efficacy?
