People can have mental representations of situations, people, and tasks at different levels, focusing on the details (i.e., construing concretely) or the big picture (i.e., construing abstractly). Past research has demonstrated that abstract and concrete construals are adaptive in different situations to meet task-related needs. However, this research often fails to consider the complicated mental shifts that must occur in organizational contexts, wherein competing demands exert pressure on workers to shift based on business needs. To address this gap in the literature, recent research has taken a functional view of construal level, examining construal shifts across varying organizational contexts (beyond simple tasks) to explicate better when and how construal level can improve organizational functioning. This symposium presents five lines of research that use diverse methodologies and samples to explore when abstract and concrete construals are better suited to organizational demands, how people shift their construals to adapt to varying situations, and the outcomes of construal adaptations across several levels of organizational behavior, including communicators, entrepreneurs, teams, and firms. This symposium aims to provide an opportunity for knowledge sharing and discussion among researchers interested in examining the functions of construal level in organizations. * "I" am More Concrete Than "We": Linguistic Abstraction and First-Person Pronoun Usage * Presenter: Yidan Yin; U. of Southern California -Marshall School of Business * Presenter: Cheryl Wakslak; U. of Southern California * Presenter: Priyanka D.
