  • 1.  Antw: [OB-LIST] Research on Women in Engineering - Possible Conference Outlet?

    Posted 02-02-2012 04:35
    Maybe any psychology conference that includes the topic of gender may work? (AoM, SIOP, SPSP, EAWOP,...)

    An engineering colleague at my university has been doing research on why women persist in engineering less than men.  Her preliminary data suggests that "women tend to persist if they have a strong engineering identity and also have the view that the engineering workplace provides them a place to belong, grow and serve.  If they determine that the engineering workplace will not meet those needs, then they leave engineering altogether."

     

    She has asked me if I know of any conferences outside of engineering that would be appropriate to present this data.  I thought that some of you on the list might have some good suggestions.  If you are aware of an appropriate conference outlet, could you send me the name of the conference?

     

    Thanks,

    Denise

    If it's positioned as a study on psychological success, OB conferences might be interested. Hall's paper could give some hints: Douglas T. Hall & Dawn E. Chandler, Psychological success: when the career is a calling, Journal of Organizational Behavior 25, 1–22 (2004)
