Abstrakt: Research on mindsets (a.k.a. implicit theories, or lay beliefs) about the fixedness or malleability of human attributes has proliferated in various fields of applied psychology--e.g., educational, social, organizational. Particularly in organizations, mindsets have increasingly been identified as a critical topic of research because not only of the possibility of shifting mindsets through experimental manipulation, but also the long-term and impactful consequences that mindsets can shape. Indeed, mindset manipulations and interventions have been developed, tested, and implemented--albeit mostly in non-organizational contexts--with successful outcomes in terms of reducing stress and conflict, enhancing self-efficacy and employee happiness--among others. The purpose of this symposium is to present new research that builds on and extends the mindsets literature by examining the effects of both established and previously unresearched mindsets in the modern workplace. Inspired by the Academy of Management 2023 theme, "Putting the Worker Front and Center," these projects extend research and theory on how mindsets help individuals to manage and overcome challenges in times of uncertainty. Specifically, the research featured in the symposium highlights how mindsets can support individuals to yield more positive attitudinal and behavioral outcomes during stressful situations at work, shape more positive job search outlook and better mental health during employment uncertainty, as well as managers to support employees' work efforts and performance in the workplace. In an era of unprecedented uncertainty and changing nature of work, we believe that researchers in organizational behavior must seize upon this moment of opportunity to accelerate the development of a substantial body of rigorous research on mindsets in organizational contexts. By elucidating the processes through which mindsets shape core aspects of outcomes in people's careers and in the workplace (e.g., job search, well-being, performance), we contribute to a fascinating new area of mindsets research that promotes human flourishing in organizations.
