The Relationship between Organizational Culture, Self-Concept Clarity and Indigenous Groups with Organizational Identity Using Structural Equation Modeling Technique

Abstract

In the present study the relationship between self-concept clarity, organizational culture and indigenous groups with the organizational identity of Sarcheshmeh Rafsanjan copper complex personnel has been investigated. The present study was conducted in a descriptive manner and was correlational in nature. The Sarcheshmeh copper complex’s official personnel who were employed there in 2020 comprise the statistical population of this study. Out of 5191 employed personnel, 420 were selected by stratified random sampling. The instruments used in this study are the Cheney's organizational identity questionnaire, Campbell's self-concept clarity questionnaire and Cameron-Quinn organizational culture assessment tool. The Amos-22 software was employed to conduct the path analysis technique for the analysis of research data. The results showed that, in addition to the direct relationship between self-concept clarity and organizational identity, self-concept clarity functions as a mediating variable between organizational culture and organizational identity. Additionally, the findings indicate a relationship between indigenous groups and organizational identity. Organizational culture is also linked to indigenous communities, in addition to organizational identity. The relationship between organizational identity and organizational culture, self-concept clarity, and indigenous groups can be verified based on the research results.
