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.
The symposium will consist of four presentations, followed by discussant comments and Q&A led by
Reuben Hurst (Maryland) and
Haram Seo (Texas A&M).
- "Office Parties: Partisan Sorting in the United States Labor Market"
- "Money in Politics at Work"
- "Peril, Politics, and Profession: Occupational Hazard and Political Segregation in the Labor Market"
- Ray Fang (University of Washington, Tacoma)
- "When to Talk Politics in Business: Theory and Experimental Evidence"
We hope to see you there!
