Abstract: Mirroring the increasingly pervasive impact of politics in everyday life, research on politics, ideology, and partisanship in the workplace has escalated in recent years across a variety of domains germane to the organizational sciences. But for as many new insights as these lines of inquiry have produced—ranging from interpersonal interactions to employee behaviors to the organizational implications of top executives’ political leanings—there are just as many (if not more) compelling questions that remain unanswered. In this article, we offer our perspectives on the literatures involving politics, ideology, and partisanship in organizations, including an overview of research in the area and some particularly encouraging future directions. We also invite submissions for a new special issue that solicits scholarship on the topic across myriad disciplines, traditions, and empirical approaches. In the process, we delineate the nature of this special issue, introduce its associate editors, and offer guidelines for submissions—which we are accepting starting at this very moment.
