The purpose of this qualitative case study is to investigate the common issues and factors associated with organizational identity from the viewpoint of faculty members employed during the 2011-2012 academic year in the Faculty of Education at Mersin University in Mersin, Turkey. The sample of this study consisted of 14 faculty members, including professors, associate professors, and assistant professors from the Faculty of Education. The data was gathered by utilizing the semi-structured interview method, which consisted of 16 interview questions developed by the researcher. The data, collected from interviews, was content-analyzed by identifying, coding, and categorizing the primary patterns of the data. Analysis of the data revealed that there are a number of common issues and factors associated with the organizational identity of faculty members. As a result of the analysis, three main categories and a number of sub-categories emerged: Identity-related issues, identityrelevant outcomes and administrative issues. Considering these results, it may be proposed that the interviewed faculty members do not identify themselves with their faculty or sub-group of the faculty but rather as discrete individuals who as a whole comprise the faculty organization.
