This symposium is aimed at building and expanding this stream of research by bringing together four papers that coalesce around the main theme of unintended antecedents and consequences of psychological safety. Specifically, the papers in this symposium examine the utilization of psychological safety in high-performing teams, the curvilinear effects of team psychological safety on creative performance, leader’s gaslighting as an antecedent of psychological safety, and associations between psychological safety and receipt of incivility from coworkers. Following the presentations, Dr. Zhike Lei, a renowned scholar in the field of psychological safety, will provide a synthesis and discussion of the papers themselves and broader research trends in the literature.
