Political polarization has been growing around the world, with this phenomenon being particularly severe in the US. This is clear from the increasing alignment between individuals’ partisan identity and political ideology, and in the increasing hostility between Democrats and Republicans. Moreover, growing research suggests that these political divisions have important implications for understanding organizations. Although there is considerable overlap between micro- and macro-organizational work in this domain, these literatures have largely developed independently. The goal of the proposed panel symposium is to bring together scholars from both camps, as well as those conducting basic disciplinary work in political science, to increase awareness of each others’ work, and to discuss potential avenues for future research.
