We systematically explored the differences between workgroup and organizational identifications. To obtain an understanding of multiple identifications on the basis of social identity, self-categorization, and social projection theories, we reviewed the literature and distinguished between workgroup and organizational identifications in 3 ways: First, the development of workgroup and organizational identifications was found to be based on self-anchoring and self-stereotyping mechanisms, respectively. Second, workgroup and organizational identifications served members’ personalized and depersonalized belongingness motives, respectively. Finally, organizational identification played a distal role in influencing job satisfaction through workgroup identification. Implications of the findings are discussed.
