Abstract: Firm-government revolving doors is a term used to describe personnel mobility, as well as concurrent employee sharing, that occurs between the public and private sectors. In this entry, I provide an overview of the existing cross-disciplinary literature on this phenomenon. First, I create a typology for the different forms of revolving doors, including sequential vs. simultaneous, entry vs. exit, direct vs. indirect, and immediate vs. delayed. I then summarize the literature on the antecedents and consequences of revolving doors, across individual, corporate, governmental, and societal levels. Finally, I suggest a number of promising new ways in which scholars might advance our current understanding of the revolving door phenomenon.
