McCombs School of Business Professor Sekou Bermiss on Political Misfits in the Workplace


Listen Later

Do you discuss politics at work? How do you feel if political issues are discussed in the workplace? With limited research on how an organization’s focus on political ideology impacts employees, Dr. Sekou Bermiss, along with Dr. Rory McDonald, Associate Professor Business Administration at the Harvard Business School, explored what happens when an employee’s political ideology differs from the firm where they’re employed. What happens to conservatives in a liberal workplace, and what happens to liberals in a conservative workplace? A new organizational culture element to consider.

Join the conversation with Dr. Sekou Bermiss as we explore his findings in “Ideological Misfit?  Political Affiliation and Employee Departure in the Private-Equity Industry” and discuss the insights gained.
