The Associated Press featured Columbia Business School professor Vanessa Burbano in coverage examining how corporate activism affects employee and stakeholder engagement. Her study, The Demotivating Effects of Communicating a Social-Political Stance: Field Experimental Evidence from an Online Labor Market Platform, finds that companies taking overt political positions can risk alienating workers and reducing motivation, suggesting that neutrality may foster broader stakeholder alignment.
