Social class has an outsized yet insidious impact on organizational life. Studies have shown, for example, that candidates with resumés that contain cues of an upper social class background have significant advantages when applying for entry-level and management positions.

Michelle Lee, an assistant professor of strategy and organization at Smith School of Business, Queen’s University, reviews what the research says about the impact of social class on organizations. She offers insights on what organizations can do to improve their recruitment practices, in particular avoiding network-based hiring. Organizations can also break down social class barriers by instituting formal mentorship programs.

Prof. Lee says the benefits of hiring candidates from lower-class backgrounds is that these candidates tend to be more focused on others and value community and teamwork. CEOs from lower social backgrounds have also been shown to be more entrepreneurial and willing to engage in social responsibility initiatives.

In America, the concept of social class deviates starkly from the centuries — or even millennia-long genetic lineages of European aristocracy.

There are no familial hierarchies dictated by the grandeur of ancestral castles here, no echoes of monarchs or tribal chiefs.

Instead, the United States, this colossal experiment in meritocracy, has fashioned its own version of the social pecking order.

Parasite, Knives Out and Us all are rooted in the theme of classism.

To break that down and inspire a larger conversation, we turned to the internet to find an article to frame our first discussion.

According to research published by the American Psychological Association, people who see themselves as being in a higher social class may tend to have an exaggerated belief that they are more adept than their equally capable lower-class counterparts and that overconfidence can often be misinterpreted by others as greater competence in important situations, such as job interviews.

Our panel of Shrinks are discussing this and more in our segment of psychology in the news that we call Being Human.

As Americans, we avoid discussing class — it’s kind of taboo. But everything we do is class-marked, from the coffee we drink to our deepest personal values. In this fascinating talk, scholar Joan C. Williams reveals why class conflict is the root of political polarization and how we can step back from the brink.
Joan C. Williams is a Distinguished Law Professor and Founding Director of the Center for WorkLife Law at UC Hastings. Her path-breaking work helped create modern workplace flexibility policies and the field of work-family studies. She has authored over 90 academic articles and 11 books, including White Working Class: Overcoming Class Cluelessness in America and What Works for Women at Work. One of her proudest accomplishments was winning the Betty Crocker Homemaker Award in high school. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Wolfgang Lehmann, Professor of Sociology at Western University, is a qualitative researcher interested in the role of social class in education, and how people make the transition from education to employment.

Lehmann has found that, while class is generally not considered a relevant issue, it greatly impacts students when they come to university.

This week we are building on last week’s outline of American stratification to explore how class differences affect people’s daily lives. We’ll explore variations in everything from values & beliefs to health outcomes, and look at how these things can perpetuate inequality across generations.
