Le nouvel agritourisme intégré, une tendance du tourisme durable

Le tourisme lié à l’agriculture, encore appelé agritourisme, constitue actuellement une activité très dynamique mais relativement peu documentée.

Revisiting the identity gap: the effects of new product and organizational identities on organizational identification

This study examines the effects of hybrid product and organizational identities on members’ identification with their organization. Borrowing from the identity congruence model of Foreman and Whetten (2002), the effects of dual identities are operationalized in the form of a current-ideal congruence of normative and utilitarian organizational identity elements. In addition, products…

Going rogue for the love of the firm: the paradox of organizational identification in hidden innovation projects

Prior management research has provided extensive evidence that members of an organization who identify with their organization tend to support its norms and objectives by displaying in- role or extra-role behavior.

However, in previous issues of Ecological Economics, several authors criticized the contingent valuation (CV) method for the absence of such effect or its inadequacy. In this paper, we contribute to…
