Drawing from extant literatu re on gender stereotypes and their impact on workplace communication\, as well as literature on hierarchies and the organization of knowledge in pro duction\, I posit that linguistic elaboration\, a communication trait more commonly associated with women\, obtains different associations in organi zational contexts. In particular\, due to the greater use of elaboration i n down-rank communication\, this linguistic quality becomes associated wit h higher status within organization contexts. Consequently\, within workpl aces\, women's use of elaboration in communication becomes paradoxically g ender-incongruent\, and penalized accordingly (e.g.\, accusations of 'talk ing bossy'). Leveraging natural language processing techniques on two dist inct datasets – email exchanges within a technology firm and job applicati on essays – I uncover compelling evidence of gender disparities. While bot h men and women engage in elaborate communication\, women disproportionate ly face negative consequences. Specifically\, women's use of elaborated la nguage is associated with lower performance evaluations and reduced hiring prospects relative to their male counterparts. These findings contribute to organizational theory by illuminating the context-dependent nature of g ender-congruent communication and its divergent effects on career advancem ent.\n DTSTART:20240913T143000Z DTEND:20240913T160000Z LOCATION:Online SUMMARY:Organizational Behavior Area Virtual Research Seminar Series: Abrah am Oshoste URL:/desautels/channels/event/organizational-behavior- area-virtual-research-seminar-series-abraham-oshoste-359511 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
