The study explores the sources and triggers of
positivity during a major organizational change. The qualitative research
methodology is developed around discovering and interpreting employees’
perceptions in an M&A process. The analysis leads us to suggest that change
may be perceived at least in three positive ways constituting to positive
identity construction. Implications for
work-related identity and identification research are discussed.
