Abstract This study aims to enhance our understanding of organizational identity work (OIW), building upon previous studies’ emphasis on the usefulness of understanding OIW in terms of storytelling. The paper offers an extended vocabulary for making sense of alternative narration forms. Based on an in-depth study of a humanitarian organization in Sweden, the discursive OIW struggles of employees in times of public disgrace are explored and the following conceptualizations suggested: a) Story-dismantling (attempting to deconstruct a dominant discrediting narrative). b) Story-meandering (attempting to tell a coherent counter-story but without success). c) Story-confirming (claiming that a dominant historical narrative remains valid). These concepts open up and invite considerations of uncertainty, fragmentation, fluidity, and contextuality in future studies of both organizational identity (OI) and OIW.

故事拆解、故事曲折和故事确认：公共耻辱时期的组织身份工作

摘要 本研究旨在增强我们对组织身份工作 (OIW) 的理解，建立在先前研究强调在讲故事方面理解 OIW 的有用性的基础上。这篇论文提供了一个扩展词汇来理解替代叙述形式。基于对瑞典一家人道主义组织的深入研究，探讨了员工在公共耻辱时期的话语 OIW 斗争，并提出以下概念化建议：a) 拆解故事（试图解构占主导地位的诋毁叙事）。b) 故事曲折（试图讲述一个连贯的反故事，但没有成功）。c) 故事确认（声称占主导地位的历史叙述仍然有效）。这些概念打开并引发了对不确定性、碎片化、流动性、
