An Overview of Self and Identity Transformation in Work Life: Reflections of Pre-Modern, Modern and Postmodern Processes

Summary/Abstract: In the historical process, it is seen that the changes experienced by societies have transformed the self and identity. Working life has been an area where this transformation has taken place and is generally studied in the pre and post industrial revolution periods. In this study, the periods will be discussed as pre-modern, modern and post-modern. The reflections of these three periods on employees' identity and self-concept will be investigated. The existence of the individual with a collective identity in the pre-modern period, the existence of knowing and the known self distinction in the process of modernism, and the emergence of fluid identities and self with postmodernism will be examined.
