Abstract
Organizations are increasingly confronting a difficult reality: employees do not leave their social and political beliefs at the door. In this plenary, Professor Morela Hernandez will draw on her research to examine why social and political disagreements at work so often feel personal, emotionally charged, and difficult to resolve. Focusing on how moral disagreement shapes judgment and interaction, her talk will explain why efforts to promote dialogue or inclusion sometimes backfire and highlight evidence-based ways organizations can reduce escalation while sustaining voice, trust, and collaboration.
