DESCRIPTION: Title: The Elephant and Donkey in the Room: Political Dissimil
 arity at Work during Elections \n\n Abstract: Dissimilarity research has p
 aid little attention to the consequences of political dissimilarity in the
  workplace. This oversight seems surprising\, given the polarized politica
 l landscapes in many Western societies that may significantly alter organi
 zational behavior. We draw on the social identity approach and cognitive t
 heories of threat processing to understand how an individual’s political
  dissimilarity from co-workers dynamically affects perceptions of work rel
 ationships and behavior in an election period. In Study 1\, we conducted a
 n experience sampling field study during the 2020 United States presidenti
 al election and found that an individual’s political dissimilarity had n
 o significant impact on the negative interpersonal interactions at work be
 fore the election day. However\, the effect became significant on election
  day and remained present for the observed post-election period of six day
 s. In Study 2\, we conducted a between-person online simulation-based expe
 riment that leveraged the 2022 United States midterm elections as an elect
 ion treatment. We further replicated and extended our findings in a longit
 udinal experimental study over four consecutive weeks during the 2024 Unit
 ed States presidential elections. Our findings demonstrate a relatively st
 able indirect effect of political dissimilarity on negative interpersonal 
 interaction through reduced social mindfulness in the election phase but n
 ot in the pre-election phase. Our findings reveal political orientation as
  a critical but underexplored dimension of workplace dissimilarity that\, 
 while perhaps generally more benign\, becomes salient with macro-political
  events. \n\n Bio: Max Reinwald is a tenure-track Assistant Professor of M
 anagement at the University of Mannheim\, Germany. His research focuses on
