Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the workplace, employees at all organizational levels may engage in a variety of political pursuits aimed at affecting public policies, though there may be various legal restraints on such activism. The focus of this Special Issue is on the activism of employees seeking to influence elections and lawmaking. We invite scholarly papers that explore the legal constraints on political activism in the workplace, the nature and scope of political activism undertaken by workers at the workplace, the role of social media and workplace political activism, the nexus between workplace democracy and such workplace activism, and the effect of unions on worker political activism on site. We encourage research papers dealing with this topic on a cross-national basis as well as across levels of the organizational hierarchy (comparing, for example, activism among employees relative to managers and executives).
