Description

Recent work suggests that the political partisanship of workers influences how firms engage with pressing social issues, and even how they fare financially. Little is known, however, regarding the extent to which workers are sorted by partisanship across workplaces or the underlying processes driving this sorting. The purpose of this symposium is to draw attention to ongoing scholarly efforts to address these questions. Scholars will present cutting edge research on this topic, often demonstrating how they leverage ideas from political science to address questions core to management and strategy research. An expert-led discussion and audience Q+A will follow. This symposium will be of particular interest to those interested in human capital strategy, corporate sociopolitical activism, and labor market segregation.
