In today's increasingly diverse and inclusive world, the examination of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) issues within organizations has gained profound significance. This endeavor transcends mere compliance with legal mandates; it represents a journey towards understanding, empathy, and equity. With a commitment to fostering theory-driven scholarship, this symposium aims to present compelling works that apply a variety of theoretical perspectives to understand the workplace experiences of LGBT workers and leaders, with a special focus on transgender and nonbinary populations. We present four papers that employ strong theoretical perspectives, enriching our understanding of LGBT issues. These studies also feature a diverse range of research designs and methodological approaches (e.g., qualitative, longitudinal/time-lagged, systematic/integrative review). Collectively, these four papers lay the foundation for further theory-driven scholarship, contributing to building a stronger body of research on LGBT work-related issues.
