Social identities often manifest themselves in jobs and occupations (i.e. occupational identities). When organizations or industries change, employees face new requirements and unknown situations. In identity negotiation occupational identity and specific situations influence each other. This co-constitutive interdependency allows employees to make sense of a changeable work environment. In this paper we propose the approach to work with metaphors to investigate occupational identity. We develop a methodic approach and explore the question how metaphors named by journalists reflect their occupational identity in a changeable work environment.

Consider-ing the vast amount of literature on technological innovations and journalisms' struggle to deal with it, one could get the impression that the only possible form of innovation in journal-ism lies in the adoption of such new technologies. This article provides a structured literature review to analyse, how academic research accesses innovation in journalism and to explore what other forms of innovation get presented. The aim of the paper is it, to give an overview of existing research streams and to identify structural weaknesses of the existing body of liter-ature in order to develop recommendations for further research, which delivers major benefits to the industry.

In our research we explore the question whether the ability of journalistic organizations to adapt and to innovate might be connected to role concepts that individual journalists might hold with regards to their profession. In a quantitative online survey (N = 90) we tested journalists for role conflicts and nostalgia, and asked them for metaphors describing journalism's function in societies. Our results show a snapshot of the realities journalists perceive in this day and age of change -on the one hand they are clear about their job, even in times of change -on the other hand they are overstrained at the workplace and perceive role conflicts, caused in particular by missing resources and by differing attitudes of what is necessary and what is not.

Based on survey research with 491 salespersons using ICT in their work environment, and tested with structural equation modelling, we discuss the impact of two forms of leadership on individual and organizational outcomes. We differentiate between supervisor influence on ICT use and general leadership, and their influence on ICT-strain (i.e. technostress) as well as on general strain (i.e. work exhaustion). The data show that, in the context of ICT-induced stress, leadership has a significant compensatory influence on work exhaustion and on job satisfaction. The results lead us to the interpretation that leadership constitutes a potential further instrument to ease the negative outcomes of ICT usage in work contexts, and to propose further study into the role of ICT specific supervisor influence.
