Syfte:              Syftet är att öka förståelsen för hur organisations- och professionsidentifikation bland anställda ter sig när företaget är i kris samt att beskriva hur prestige kan relateras till identifikationen.Metodik:         En fallstudie på SAS har använts som forskningsstrategi med en deduktiv ansats. Dataproduceringen har skett genom en kvalitativ metod där flera strukturerade intervjuer med personer på fallföretaget har genomförts.Slutsats:       Studien har visat tendenser till att organisationsidentifikation ökar under en kris medan professionsidentifikationen minskar när det kommer till lågprestigeyrken i ett företag som attribueras med ett starkt varumärke. Vidare har studien även bekräftat relationen mellan prestige och identifikation, där en hög prestige i regel leder till en hög identifikation, och där anställda tenderar att identifiera sig med det som har högst prestige. Slutligen har det uppmärksammats att vid en kris kan anställda med en stark organisationsidentifikation försvara sin idealbild av företaget. En av studiens respondenter illustrerade detta genom att säga: ? Rör inte min baby!?..
