People can mentally represent situations, people, and tasks at different levels, focusing on the details (i.e., construing concretely) or the big picture (i.e., construing abstractly). Despite the growing attention devoted by management scholars to construal level as a feature of cognition, methodological innovations are needed to allow researchers to better study construal-level within organizational contexts. This symposium presents four lines of research that use diverse research designs to advance measures and manipulations of construal level in varied contexts. The four papers examine cognitive construal in everyday work, context-specific linguistic abstraction in small natural language samples, construal-related stereotypes of social groups, and effectiveness of two common construal manipulations in the lab. This symposium aims to provide an opportunity for knowledge sharing and discussion among researchers, with a specific focus on methodological innovations that can advance construal level research in organizations.
