Interpersonal evaluations of ability and character have a significant impact on individuals' behaviors towards others and the dynamics within organizations. Recent studies reveal that these evaluations are influenced by the characteristics of individuals, teams, and organizations, highlighting the importance of contextualizing these evaluations within specific organizational settings. In response, this symposium aims to expand the discussion on interpersonal evaluations and dynamics, investigating the complexities of workplace perceptions and dynamics across various organizational stages and contexts. The papers specifically examine recruitment and socialization processes, and team performance evaluations, and also offer practical strategies to enhance interpersonal perceptions.
