  text: In this paper, we apply imprinting theory to examine how institutional transformation
    substantially influences perceptions of corruption that we argue to be incorporated
    to a varying extent in organizations founded in that period. For this purpose,
    we compare the effect of a sudden shock (dissolution of the Soviet Union) on the
    managers' present perceptions to that of a steady transition (EU accession). We
    consult the 5th round of the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey
    from 2012 to 2014 analyzing 4715 interviews with managers of organizations from
    twelve Central and Eastern European countries. Our results reveal striking differences
    in the present perception of corruption for organizations founded immediately
    before and immediately after these institutional transitions. The study's results
    contribute to the research on imprinting theory regarding the relationship between
    organizations and institutional conditions that constitutes a lasting effect on
    organizational structures. Thus, applying an institutional perspective that considers
    less stable periods for organizations yields a promising avenue in research on
    organizational behavior.

  text: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Since the seminal work of Albert
    and Whetten, the organizational identity concept has become ubiquitous and highly
    relevant in various fields. This study systematically reviews how Albert and Whetten’s
    concept of organizational identity has been disseminated in different research
    areas. It employs quantitative (topic modeling) and qualitative text analysis,
    as well as a network analysis to examine a sample of 1,041 papers published between
    1985 and mid-2022 that cite Albert and Whetten’s seminal work. Using this method
    of systematic literature analysis, the current study investigates the criteria
    of the basic definition and hypotheses mentioned in their work that contribute
    to its increasing significance, and those with the potential to become substantial
    aspects of future organizational identity research. Accordingly, Albert and Whetten’s
    conceptualization of organizational identity is often partially adopted in the
    literature. Thus, this study contributes to organizational identity research by
    unveiling further research questions on the evolving character of organizational
    identity, research methodology, and quantitative operationalization, on the basis
    of Albert and Whetten’s organizational identity conceptualization.</jats:p>
