Abstract

Abstract only This symposium is focused on individuals who advocate for ethical and social issues in the workplace. There is evidence that speaking up about such issues can be risky and lead to negative personal and professional consequences for those who do so. The papers in this symposium will explore various factors that might discourage individuals from speaking up, as well as the factors that drive them to advocate for ethical and social issues despite these risks. This symposium will examine these issues in different contexts, such as diversity and inclusion, organizational norm violations, and broader institutional change, and will use a range of methodological approaches, including qualitative and quantitative research, field studies, and experiments. The goal of this symposium is to understand the psychological processes that motivate individuals to advocate for ethical and social issues at work, and to provide practical recommendations for individuals who wish to sustain their efforts to make a positive impact in society.
