    Dear Colleagues,

     

    We are looking for co-contributors to a potential AOM symposium described briefly below. If you are interested in participating in the session, please email us with a description of your potential contribution. The AOM submission is due on January 10.

     

    Symposium Description: We seek papers for our symposium that present empirical research demonstrating novel methodological strategies and analytical techniques for investigating Person-Environment fit (Person-Organization fit, Person-Vocation fit, Person-Group fit, and Person-Supervisor fit). Potential contributions to the symposium may include studies which employ direct/indirect measures of fit, subjective and actual fit, polynomial regression, profile comparison measures, and cluster analysis. Also, a valuable contribution may be a study that investigates P-E fit longitudinally or has applied computer simulation. As an illustration, one paper in this session presents an agent-based simulation approach to study complementary P-O fit over time. 

     

    If you are interested in contributing to the AOM symposium, please email Marina Astakhova at mastakho@gmail.com.

    Thank you!

  • 2.  P-O Fit symposium call

    Dear Colleagues,

    We are organizing a symposium in the area of Person-Organization (P-O) Fit and Stigma for the SIOP 2013 conference and would like to invite interested presenters to join our session. Our research focuses on stigmatized individuals’ perceptions of supplementary and complementary P-O fit conditions and how stigmatization affects interviewers’ decisions in the context of P-O fit.

    Our symposium may take one of the following directions:

    - Stigma/stereotyping in the context of P-O fit (papers that examine stigma or stereotyping in the P-O fit context are welcome)
    - Constraints to fitting in (papers are welcome that examine constraints that may make it difficult for applicants to showcase their fit with the organization; stigma is one of them)
    - Can stigma be an asset and not a barrier? (papers are welcome that investigate hiring situations when stigma may actually benefit applicants)
    - Stigma in the hiring process (papers are welcome that examine various adverse aspects of stigmatization in the hiring process)

    If you have ongoing research that may fit any of the above themes and are interested in contributing to the SIOP symposium, please email Marina Astakhova (mastakho@gmail.com) or Pamela Waltz (pwaltz@niu.edu) with a description of your potential contribution.

    The submission deadline for the SIOP 2013 meeting is September 12th. We are requesting that interested participants forward proposals to us no later than Monday, September 3rd.

    We look forward to collaborating with you.
