Reproducing Inequality at Work: Social Psychological Mechanisms (Co-Sponsored by Organizations, Occupations, and Work Section)

Tue, August 11, 8:00 to 9:30am, TBA

Session Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)

Description

Workplaces are a potential location for disrupting the status quo, especially through workers’ collective actions. And yet, workplaces are most often seen as reproducing the status quo, reinforcing inequality and power differentials. Social psychological approaches may be helpful for understanding why workplaces don’t often live up to their potential for disruption. This session will bring together the sections of Social Psychology and Organizations, Occupations, and Work to discuss the micro-level mechanisms that reproduce inequality within workplaces and consider how the same mechanisms could also allow for disruption of the status quo.
