Freedom of Opinion? Conforming to Your Organization

Abstract

This integrative literature review seeks to explore if it is more beneficial to conform to the political beliefs held by your organization/supervisor, or to speak out for your beliefs. By synthesizing the literature that addresses political opinions in the workplace, researchers provide professionals with a comprehensive, and contemporary understanding of the published scholarship in this area. This review is important because it addresses whether business men and women can express their opinions within their organization, or what repercussions might befall them if they do. Should businesses promote individuality? This integrative literature review seeks to address that question.
