Abstract<\/strong>
\nIn recent years, organizations of every shape and size have embraced the \u201cwhole self\u201d movement, which encourages employees to show up authentically in the workplace. The movement dovetails with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and organizations\u2019 use of social media to signal allyship with historically disadvantaged groups. Such signaling encourages job candidates to follow suit, as a means of demonstrating their trustworthiness and confidence to prospective employers. However, while social media allyship can lead to positive outcomes for organizations, it may not benefit individuals. Cybervetting research cautions against taking a public stand on potentially sensitive social issues in case it negatively affects perceptions of job suitability. Thus, the \u201cwhole self\u201d movement creates an interesting conundrum: on one hand, organizations may view social media allyship positively; on the other, it could prove detrimental to individuals if the stance taken is not aligned with the values of hiring agents who use online content to evaluate job candidates. In this presentation, Michelle Carter will discuss research that takes an identity perspective to explore hiring agents\u2019 views on the effectiveness of social media allyship in general, and for individuals\u2019 job prospects.<\/p>\n
