Using a narrative approach, this article unravels how employees interpret their own identity and position themselves as global citizens. Findings reveal that participants' stories reinforce a strong sense of moral responsibility to both people and the planet. We also found that global citizenship is constructed through a highly abductive, internal conversation that individuals have crystallizing around their moral commitments, their social identity as defined by their legal citizenship, their political identity and perceived agency, and their travel and work-related experiences. The narrative approach highlights the fractal elements of participants' stories.
