In this symposium, four studies reveal how identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ) can influence one’s hirability, propensity to experience wage discrimination, likelihood to endure harassment on the basis of gender and sexual orientation, and ideal method of disrupting an episode of discrimination. The series of papers uses a diverse toolbox of research methods, including experimental paradigms, archival data, and survey designs. This symposium aims to integrate theory on organizational behavior and LGBQ psychology. Taken together, these studies indicate how the workplace experiences of non-heterosexual employees are qualitatively unique, and suggest timely implications for interviewers, applicants, employees, and managers, both heterosexual and LGBQ. The session will conclude with an interactive discussion led by Dr. Anne Marie Ryan, a prominent organizational psychologist who studies identity management in the workplace.
