Collectively the chapters chart exciting and relatively unmapped territory in the study of behavior, processes, structures, and dynamics in organizations. The objective of this final chapter is to summarize and integrate some themes and insights found in the book. One liability of edited books is that the threads that bind the chapters together, and the overall value of the aggregation of the topics, is lost without an attempt at integration. It is easy to get excited about individual chapters in this volume and the specific contributions made by each, but it is also important to highlight the excitement and the positive energy that is associated with the overall discipline of POS. This final chapter aspires to help illuminate some exciting paths that we hope will be traversed by other scholars in the future. Baumeister, Bratslavsky, Finkenauer, and Vohs (2001) demonstrated the pervasiveness and impact of negative events, behaviors, and outcomes in human behavior. Negative or "bad" occurrences, for example, appear to have greater impact on individual emotions and behavior than positive or "good" occurrences. Thus, because negative phenomena capture the most attention and, according to Baumeister, et al. (2001), account for the most variance in predicting outcomes, it is not surprising that most research in psychology and organizational studies has been problem-focused.

First, earthquake ruptures are resolved in time and space along small fault basins (equivalent to sag-ponds on land) and larger transform basins. Second, Holocene deformation and slip rates are quantified by using datable horizontal makers, such as shorelines and

We explore the use of three virtue frames to make sense of a university's response to the events of 9- 11-01. We examine the effects of interpreted virtuousness of actions on members' identification with and attachment to the organization through members' emotions, their self-construals and overall images of the organization. Our study sheds light on how sensemaking about the virtuousness of organizational actions influences members' cognitive and emotional connection to the organization.
