Overview
Please join us at AOM 2026 in Philadelphia for the annual PDW on The Productivity Process: Research Tips and Strategies from Prolific Junior Faculty. The purpose of the PDW is to help junior faculty face the challenges of being productive. Importantly, the PDW acknowledges research productivity as a process that can be improved through learning. Presenters will discuss their work habits and how they go about their work (e.g., time allocation, co-authorships, writing blocks, and strategies) as well as other "life" factors that influence their productivity (e.g., exercise, work/family balance). This session includes individual presentations, a panel discussion, and a keynote address. We encourage Ph.D. students, as well as faculty across all stages of their careers-Assistant, Associate, and Full-to join this session, to collectively reflect on, learn from, and share productivity-related strategies.
Junior Faculty Speakers
This year, our panelists include: Drs. Emma Frank (The Ohio State University), Timothy Kundro (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), Wei Jee Ong (The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology), and Melanie Prengler (London Business School).
Distinguished Speaker (Keynote)
Dr. John Hollenbeck (Michigan State University)
