Abstract：
The early career phase is a key period of identity maintenance and change. But, it is also ripe with important, attention-grabbing occurrences (i.e., critical events) that may modify these processes, particularly influencing women\'s leadership pursuit. Because previous research has overlooked if or how such events might alter identifying or if these processes differ for people who identify as men and women, we integrate the identity and critical events literatures to elaborate on how positive and negative critical events may shape men and women\'s identifying in the work- and non-work domains over time. We propose that critical events\' effects on identity salience will occur both within and across domains, but that these effects will be stronger within (vs. across) domains. While both positive and negative events can exert negative effects on subsequent identity salience, we propose that the effects of critical events on identity salience may be stronger for women (vs. men). Finally, we connect work identity salience with subsequent leadership status, including contextual moderators that enhance or undermine these effects (i.e., inclusive organizational climate and mega-threats, respectively). We conclude with theoretical and practical implications of this research, including for workforce efficiency and social sustainability. We also highlight calls for future research stemming from our review [e.g., sustainability critical events and gendered analyses for (more) accurate science] as well as fruitful research areas and innovative practices at the work-non-work interface for professionals on the path to leadership.
摘要：
职业生涯早期阶段是身份维持和改变的关键时期。但是,它也是成熟的重要，注意力抓住事件(即，关键事件)可能会修改这些过程，尤其影响女性的领导追求。因为以前的研究忽视了这些事件是否或如何改变身份，或者这些过程是否对男性和女性不同，我们整合了身份和关键事件文献，以详细说明随着时间的推移，积极和消极的关键事件如何影响男性和女性在工作和非工作领域的身份。我们建议，关键事件对身份显著性的影响将在域内和跨域发生，但这些影响在内部会更强(与跨)域。虽然正面和负面事件都可以对随后的身份显著性产生负面影响，我们认为，关键事件对身份显着性的影响对女性来说可能会更强(与men).最后,我们将工作身份显着性与随后的领导地位联系起来，包括增强或破坏这些影响的上下文主持人(即，包容性的组织氛围和巨大的威胁，分别)。我们总结了这项研究的理论和实践意义，包括劳动力效率和社会可持续性。我们还强调了来自我们评论的未来研究的呼吁[例如，可持续发展的关键事件和性别分析（更多）准确的科学]以及富有成效的研究领域和创新实践在工作-非工作界面的专业人士在领导的道路上。
