This symposium presents five empirical studies that explore positive and negative work and nonwork outcomes of overqualification. We ask and answer new developing questions in overqualification research with papers unpacking nonwork outcomes such as work-family enrichment and work outcomes such as CEO performance, entrepreneurship goal-setting behaviors, and voluntary turnover. The studies presented shed light on the novel insights on (1) how and why overqualified employees may experience positive or negative nonwork lives and (2) how these workers utilize their underused capacities in unique and new ways in their work lives to improve their performance and satisfaction.
