Abstract
Abstract only
Despite the commonality of misfit experiences at work and the negative implications they have for both employees and employers, the field still has a limited understanding of how misfit emerges, how employees avoid and/or cope with misfit, what attitudinal and behavioral outcomes are associated with misfit, and what organizations can do to effectively manage misfit. In this symposium, we deepen our understanding of this complex phenomenon through four research presentations that adopt different theoretical perspectives, employ a variety of study designs (e.g., qualitative, experimental, and multisource and multiwave field studies), and utilize an array of analytic methods (e.g., polynomial regression and response surface modeling) to explore the topic of misfit. Featured research explores how we can diagnose, prevent, and even benefit from misfit experiences and contains valuable insights for both researchers and practitioners on how to effectively navigate misfit at work.
