Identity Multiplicity and the Formation of Professional Network Ties
How does personal identity multiplicity—a self-perception with more elements—help an individual connect with others? I argue that identity multiplicity increases the likelihood of establishing professional network ties through two mechanisms: individuation, or the tendency of a potential network partner to view one as an individual as opposed to a representative of a category; and identity homophily, or the attraction and interaction opportunities that emerge as a function of shared identity elements with a potential partner. The benefits of identity multiplicity are particularly strong for promoting inter-racial ties as individuation reduces racial stereotyping. I find support for these ideas in an analysis of the creation of network ties of mid-career professionals.
期刊介绍:
The mission of the Academy of Management Journal (AMJ) is to disseminate empirical research that rigorously tests, extends, or constructs management theory while enhancing management practice. The journal welcomes diverse empirical methods, including qualitative, quantitative, field, laboratory, meta-analytic, and mixed methods. For publication in AMJ, research must exhibit robust empirical and theoretical contributions, with manuscripts emphasizing the practical relevance of these contributions to management practice. Authors are encouraged to craft original, insightful, interesting, and theoretically bold research that makes a substantial "value-added" contribution to the field's comprehension of a given issue or topic.
