The workplace has undergone dramatic changes in the past few years. From remote and hybrid work to digital transformation, from an increased focus on well-being to an emphasis on employee engagement, a multitude of topics have emerged in the literature. In this symposium, we gather a collection of four presentations that advance our knowledge of organizational behavior by examining specific aspects of organizational life that have gathered attention in recent years. The first presentation (Costa & Coyle-Shapiro) introduces a measure of post-violation contract states and examines four profiles of such states and their impact of several outcomes in samples collected both in the UK and USA. Drawing on motivated identity construction theory, the second presentation (Canhilal, Abrantes & Bakici) examines the relationship between organizational injustice and employee withdrawal behavior, and the conditional roles of occupational social value and occupational prestige. The third presentation (Noormandipour, Dimas, Bairrada, Gama, Pereira & Coelho) focuses on financial decision makers and relies on upper echelons theory to examine how the psychological traits of such decision makers, in this case mindfulness, influence their firms' strategic financial choices. Our fourth presentation (Castanheira & Neves) focuses on the relationship between employees' meta-perceptions of deviant work behaviors and their emotional exhaustion and proposes that such process unfolds via an increase in ruminative thoughts and is conditional of the existing levels of technostress. Finally, in light of the state of the art, these contributions will be discussed by Professor Alex Newman, Professor at the Melbourne Business School and Editor of AP:IR, who will also invite questions from the audience.
