abstract |
Inter-organizational collaboration (IOC) research considers the achievement of a collaborative
identity as a key enabler of a successful collaboration. As a result, little has been
said about the interactions between collaborative and non-collaborative identities.
We build on narrative identity work and positioning theory, to explore how collaboration
partners engage in identity work positioning to manage the interactions of the multiple
identities emerging through the process of collaboration as they try to accomplish
collaborative work. We illustrate this process through a qualitative longitudinal
study of an educational partnership in Greece. Our analysis shows how IOC partners
manage the interactions between collaborative and non-collaborative identities by
positioning themselves, and others, in narratives of collaboration as part of their
daily identity work when responding to emerging collaborative needs. Our research
extends our current understanding of identity work processes in IOCs by demonstrating
the paradoxical nature of the collaboration, which requires relying on both collaborative
and non-collaborative identities for the successful achievement of aims. We therefore
suggest that identity tensions should not be resolved but rather managed, since they
enable partners to respond creatively to contextual organizational changes and make
sense of the collaboration as it happens. |
