摘要

Relational demography researchers have constructed models based on social identity theory and self-categorization theory, without fully incorporating their theoretical and empirical richness. We I rectify this omission by constructing a model that includes key concepts from these theories and that predicts whether employees will identify with a particular demographic category or with their workgroup. or both. Propositions derived examine whether demographic dissimilarity will positively or negatively influence employee social identity.
