| Resisting and Cultivating: How Marginalized Women Construct Positive Leader Identities at Work
Women`s Positive Leadership | |
| Organizer: Courtney McCluney, U. of Michigan
Chair: Stephanie J Creary, Cornell U.
Discussant: Laura Morgan Roberts, Antioch U. |
| This symposium highlights new research on and conceptualizations of positive identity creation from marginalized organizational members-women leaders-in a variety of workplace contexts. Topics addressed include the use of mindfulness as a strategy to counteract the stressors associated with assuming leadership roles; how career narratives among pioneer women in leadership roles demonstrate different patterns of personal agency and passivity for low and high SES women; and Black clergywomen's ethical leadership claims and grants from congregants in the Black church. This symposium aims to accomplish three goals: 1) highlight new findings and emerging theory on positive identity creation among marginalized groups in organizations, 2) identify mechanisms that facilitate positive identity cultivation across different types of organizational members in different organizational contexts, and 3) provide a forum for discussing the challenges and opportunities of conducting positive organizational research on low- status, underrepresented persons in organizations |
