Gary Johns, Louise Tourigny and I are planning to propose a symposium on Presenteeism at the forthcoming Academy of Management meetings in San Antonio in August 2011. I have two participants so far. I am wondering whether any of you will be interested in participating in such a symposium. If you are, please let me know in general terms what you are doing and then I can motivate the symposium in that collective direction. For example, Louise and I are testing some of the relationships that Gary had proposed in his recent paper on presenteeism in JOB among nurses in Turkey. . I am looking for a total of five participants with Gary as the discussant. Once I hear from all of you, I will work out the broad brushstrokes of the symposium and get your feedback before we submit it to the Academy.
Thanks for your consideration.
