Among the processes to be experienced by any organization during its establishment is the formation of an organizational identity. This process can be understood as the activity and event through which an organization becomes unique in the mind of its members. An organizational identity leads to an identification and both are directly associated with the success of an institution. This study is about a public higher education institution in health in its early years, with distinctive characteristics in the country where it is situated. In spite of having been successful in the graduation of its students it has fragile institutional bases, lack of autonomy and internal problems common to other institutions of this type. Thus, this study was conducted to understand how this institution defined itself among its own members, the elements of its identity and what justified its relative success despite its weaknesses.
A mixed-method approach was used to evaluate how a representative portion of this organization identifies with it. For the qualitative study two focus groups were conducted with transcripts submitted to content analysis proposed by Bardin, culminating in results from which a Likert scale-based questionnaire was elaborated and applied to 297 subjects.
There were six central elements of the organizational identity made evident by the focus groups: political / ideological conflict; active teaching and learning methodologies; location / separation of campuses; time of existence; teaching career; political-administrative transformations. The quantitative analysis revealed in more detail the general impressions raised in the focus groups. Most results were able to demonstrate distinct identifications of the same identity with its exposed weaknesses.
Lack of autonomy, administrative and structural shortcomings and ideological or political conflicts presented themselves as problems capable of destabilizing the identity of a public higher education institution. On the other hand, one way to combat such problems is through the development of the institution itself, particularly by becoming more active and useful to the community and seeking in a common interest to the higher administration agencies.
任何组织在成立过程中都要经历一系列过程，其中包括形成组织身份认同。这个过程可以被理解为一个组织在其成员心目中变得独一无二的活动和事件。组织身份认同导致了认同，两者都与机构的成功直接相关。本研究是关于一个处于早期阶段的公共卫生高等教育机构，它在所在国家具有独特的特点。尽管在学生毕业方面取得了成功，但它的机构基础薄弱，缺乏自主权，存在其他同类机构共有的内部问题。因此，本研究旨在了解该机构如何在其成员中定义自己，其身份认同的要素以及是什么使其在存在弱点的情况下取得相对成功。
采用混合方法评估该组织的代表性成员如何认同该组织。对于定性研究，我们进行了两次焦点小组讨论，并对转录本进行了巴丁提出的内容分析，最终从结果中得出了一个基于李克特量表的问卷，并对 297 名受试者进行了问卷调查。
焦点小组揭示了组织身份认同的六个核心要素：政治/意识形态冲突；积极的教学方法；校区位置/分离；存在时间；教学职业；政治-行政变革。定量分析更详细地揭示了焦点小组中提出的总体印象。大多数结果都能够证明，相同的身份认同存在其暴露的弱点。
缺乏自主权、行政和结构上的缺陷以及意识形态或政治冲突，这些问题都表现为可能破坏公共高等教育机构身份认同的不稳定因素。另一方面，解决这些问题的一种方法是通过机构自身的发展，特别是通过更加积极主动地为社区服务，并寻求与上级管理机构的共同利益。
