Existing organizational research addresses various paths to gaining status for individuals, groups and organizations. In light of existing work, the purpose of this symposium is three-fold. First we highlight the importance of acknowledging the differences in status associated with different social or demographic categories, and how this shapes status attainment particularly for those in lower status demographic categories. Second, we consider the interplay between individual and group-level status and the intragroup dynamics that arise when high achieving individuals are members of low status groups. Third we consider how status may be attained outside of the well-established prestige versus dominance dichotomy. Overall, the projects in this symposium seek to enrich our insight into how to gain status or overcome perceptions of holding low status.
