| Summary: | The concept of “priorization”—that definitional process whereby an acting unit, in regard to a given situation, gives precedence to one of his role-, identity-, self-, or membership-/reference-orientations over another or others—is introduced. Examples from past studies of academic organizational roles and of ethnic identity experiences are cited. A research case illustration, concerning the definitions of 42 Jewish-born college professors in dilemma situations involving their academic and religio-ethnic identities, is presented. Findings in regard to how these respondents priorized choices about whether or not to work on the Yom Kippur holiday are then used as a springboard for more general analytic formulations about the nature of the priorization process in academic situations. |
