As organizational research begins to catch up with the largely theoretical framework around the experience and effects of diversity at work, we propose a symposium that focuses on managing marginalization at work through the issues surrounding impression management. The purpose of this symposium is to explore the impact of social and contextual factors on interpersonal impression management choices and outcomes. Specifically, the presentations in this symposium investigate how organizational factors and individuals’ experiences with identity-related issues influence their (a) self-perceptions, (b) image concerns, and (c) self-expression choices. By integrating literature on marginalized identities, impression management, and authenticity, we aim to generate discussions around how employees navigate their identities in complex workplace dynamics, how managers can be allies against stereotyping processes, and how organizations can develop future work environments that promote individuals’ sense of self and well-being.
