Researchers' professional pathways can be characterized by the multidimensionality of decisions and internal reasons for them. That is why we asked ourselves a question relevant to this problem: Do scientists have different identity orientations in organizational scientific professions? We prepared an EDA (exploratory data analysis) online questionnaire (n=109). The target respondents consisted of scientists with the Polish academic scientific titles of dr, dr hab., Professor Assistant, Professor. We have developed a measuring instrument for the various model constructs by adapting validated questionnaires established in management and cognitive psychology. Pioneering typology grid was created: six types of scientist organizational identity orientations - prestige, economic, carrier, science, power and human variables. The results of the analysis were statistically significant for the "science" variable. Scientists in the field of humanities achieved significantly higher results on the "science" orientation scale than those involved in social sciences. The results of the analysis were also statistically significant for the "power" variable. The results of the analysis were also statistically significant for the "power" variable, although the group of 31-40-year-olds achieved lower scores than the group of respondents aged 51 and over. The results, therefore, reflect the importance of fields and age differences in organizational meanings scientists' identity orientations. (original abstract)
