Researchers have recently begun to focus on the influence of political affiliation in organizations. We investigated how doxing (i.e., using social media to post information online with malintent) influenced hiring-related decisions. Based on the integration of the political affiliation model (PAM) with a model of state suspicion, we investigated how a dox containing different types of information (affirming a political affiliation versus providing derogatory/negative information about an opposing party) and party affiliation similarity influenced hiring-related processes. Such concerns led us to expand the "decision space" of hiring-related dependent variables to include social media enabled effects related to expected organizational image and expected retaliation. Results revealed that doxing was related to expected retaliation and that information type and party similarity interacted to predict suspicion. We explain the interaction using the variable of symbolic threat. The effects of type of information and party similarity were pervasive. Our results support the similarity-attraction paradigm (and PAM) and show that expanding the theory to include suspicion helps understand politically related judgments in the enhanced "decision space" that included expected organizational image and retaliation.
