Frontiers of Social Hierarchy Research: Dynamics in Teams and Organizations

Abstract

This symposium contributes to this emerging and important trend of studying status and power in teams and organizations. Together, the four empirical papers shed new light on power and status at the individual level, team level, and multi-team system level. We anticipate that our symposium will stimulate new perspectives and raise important questions about social hierarchy as well as teams.
