To contribute to the advancement of allyship theory and practice, we propose a symposium centered on new research addressing perceptions and misperceptions of allyship motivations and behavior, unintended consequences of allyship efforts, and underutilized approaches to allyship. Through this initiative, we aim to shed light on factors that can help organizations harness positive allyship intentions, ensuring the promotion of productive allyship behavior in organizational settings.
