The second-order themes, first-order categories and according representative data, summarized in a table in Appendix 2 of this work, are organized under three theoretical dimensions, namely organizational context, organizational informality and organizational identification. The two latter ones are explicitly discussed in the theoretical framework. The decision to elevate the organizational context to the same level as the two theoretical realms, addressed in chapter 2, within the data structure is based on the fact, that the specific idiosyncrasy and unrepeatable settings of empirical cases should always be taken into account in organizational research (Lombardo & Kvålshaugen, 2014).
