摘要

On the basis of a qualitative, induction-driven study of six cases, we developed a process model of how former members of defunct organizations found new organizations to sustain valued elements of organizational life. Our model suggests that this process unfolds through four periods of organizing: disintegration, demise, gestation, and rebirth. The model identifies the affective, behavioral, and cognitive dynamics that give rise to movement through this process. Each of the periods that comprise the model is brought about by a distinct set of affective experiences, shared actions, and interpretive tasks that together shape an emergent process of founding.
