“…In the variant associated with Burke (Burke 1991;Burke and Reitzes 1991;Burke and Stets 1999), each identity is internalized, becoming a standard against which perceived selfmeanings are compared; the outcome of the comparison process is "self-verification" and, depending on the sign and magnitude of the discrepancy between the identity standard and perceived self-meanings, leads both to emotion, which signals a discrepancy, and to behavior aimed at eliminating the discrepancy (Stryker and Burke 2000:288). In this way, behavior is "goal-directed", and the individual has agency (Stryker and Burke 2000:288).…”

Terms of use: Documents in Theoretical Unification in Justice and BeyondGuillermina Jasso The Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) in Bonn is a local and virtual international research center and a place of communication between science, politics and business. IZA is an independent nonprofit company supported by Deutsche Post World Net. The center is associated with the University of Bonn and offers a stimulating research environment through its research networks, research support, and visitors and doctoral programs. IZA engages in (i) original and internationally competitive research in all fields of labor economics, (ii) development of policy concepts, and (iii) dissemination of research results and concepts to the interested public.

Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character. A revised version may be available directly from the author. The goal of scientific work is to understand more and more by less and less. In this effort, theoretical unification plays a large part. There are two main types of theoretical unificationunification of different theories of the same field of phenomena and unification of theories of different fields of phenomena. Both types are usually a surprise; even when vigorously pursued, their form, when they finally appear, may differ radically from preconceptions. This paper examines a series of twenty-one unification surprises in the study of justice and beyond, sixteen in the study of justice and five in the unification of three fundamental sociobehavioral forces -justice, status, and power -and the subsequent unification of the three sociobehavioral forces with identity and with happiness.JEL Classification: C02, D1, D31, D6, D8, I3, J31

“…Wenger, 2000) and ensures the maintenance of group norms (Wang & Chen, 2012). Also, strong ties between people have been associated with trust and shared experiences (Cannella & McFadyen, 2013;Nonaka, 1994), which contribute to stable and sustainable social structures (Burke & Stets, 1999;Hosmer, 1995;McEvily, Perrone, & Zaheer, 2003). Conversely, if the core is weakly tied to the periphery, stability will be low.…”

The Social Scaffolding of Online Communities THE SOCIAL SCAFFOLDING OF ONLINE COMMUNITIESOnline communities have become cornerstones of how work gets done in the 21 st century. While being considered as a way to access a global workforce and often praised for their resources and open collaboration, there is not much consensus on how knowledge-intensive online communities actually "work". In this paper, we develop a theory of the "social scaffolding" of online communities. We advance prior research by arguing that online communities can feature one of four possible combinations of high and low degrees of fluidity and stability. We then theorize about the influence of these combinations on three "shades" of reciprocity as core mechanisms in online communities. Finally, we discuss the implications of our research and present an agenda for future research in which we call for increased attention to theoretical approaches toward online communities. Organizations will be able to use our framework in order to develop a strategic fit with -and thus, more effectively utilize the potential of -online communities.
