  • 1.  Articles concerning the filed of OB for a phd course

    Posted 02-22-2009 04:57

    Dear all

    I'm preparing a phd course on contemporary topics in OB. Does anyone have references to articles that may be used to describe the field in a broader sense under the heading "The field of OB". I'm going to use the following, but need more: Cascio, W. F. & Aguinis, H. 2008. Research in industrial and organizational psychology from 1963 to 2007: Changes, choices, and trends. Journal of Applied Psychology, 93(5): 1062-1081.

    Bard,
     
    You may want to consider the following article, which addresses trends in the field regarding methodological issues:
     
    Aguinis, H., Pierce, C. A., Bosco, F. A., & Muslin, I. S (2009). First decade of Organizational Research Methods: Trends in design, measurement, and data-analysis topics. Organizational Research Methods, 12, 69-112.
     
    This article is available at http://carbon.cudenver.edu/~haguinis/ (click on the "refereed journal articles" link).
     
    I hope this helps, and best of luck with your course, whichs sounds very interesting!
     
    All the best,
     
    --Herman.

    Bard,

    Here is what I am thinking: using all of the Annual Review of Psychology reviews of organizational behavior as base material and asking my students to write a paper defining the field, describing the ebbs and flows, analyzing the trends and showing direction for the future. I am teaching a doctoral seminar on management theory. So I am also thinking of asking them to attempt a theory of organizational behavior. I have done something like it in the past for an advanced masters seminar in OB. Hope it helps.

  • 4.  Articles concerning the filed of OB for a phd course

    Posted 02-22-2009 12:45
    Bard,
     
    I would also ask PhD students to read or review some books too.  For instance, in the field of OB I would ask them to read (review) two of Peter B. Vaill's books, "Spirited Leading and Learning," and "Management and a Performing Art."  Very thought provoking!
     
    Thanks,

    Hi Bard,
     
    You might consider a chapter or two from Greenberg's book "Organizational Behavior: State of the Science." Some of the chapters cover specific topics, but some are more general.

    Hi Bård

     

    Broad overviews of any discipline or sub-discipline are a useful starting point.  Baba already mentioned Annual Review of Psychology and I'd add to that Annual Review of Sociology which sometimes intersects with <st1:place w:st="on">OB</st1:place> in interesting ways and International Review of Industrial and Organizational Psychology.

     

    But for PhDs I'd probably go more for relatively 'new' topics and under-explored areas.  So Research in Organizational Behavior might be a good place to take a look.

     

    Cheers

    I would recommend including a couple of chapters from the Handbook of I/O Psychology in your readings.

    All the best,

    Hi Bard,

    The most helpful article I read during my first week as a PhD student was:

    Heath, C., & Sitkin, S. B. 2001. Big-B versus big-O: What is
    organizational about organizational behavior? Journal of
    Organizational Behavior, 22: 43-58.

    Your students may enjoy reading it, as well.
