Are you a junior faculty member or doctoral student looking to increase your research productivity? If so, you'll want to make plans to attend the following PDW at this year's AOM conference:

The Productivity Process: Research Tips and Strategies from Prolific Junior Faculty

Friday, August 1^st

8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Loews Philadelphia Hotel Regency Ballroom A

Sponsored by the OB Division
Organizers: Jaron Harvey (Univ. of Wyoming) and John Sumanth (Wake Forest Univ.)

With regard to research, a major challenge facing junior faculty is learning how to be productive. This implies that research productivity is a process that can be improved through learning. The main goal of this Professional Development Workshop (PDW) is to help develop an awareness of the processes used by prolific faculty. Although most PDW's use esteemed senior scholars as panelists, this PDW uses peer junior faculty members who have established track records of productivity. A unique feature of this PDW is the focus on work and research productivity as a process. That is, 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 uses a number of formats including individual presentations, large group Q&A, and small group roundtables.

Presenters & Roundtable Facilitators w/Topics:

• Spencer Harrison, Boston College: "Congratulations on being a qualitative scholar-your career is now over!"
  
• David Hekmn, University of Colorado: "Why the zebra is the king of the academic jungle and how you can become one."
  
• Gavin Kilduff, New York University: "Academic life-hacking: Achieving efficiency and positivity in the academic career."
  
• Keith Leavitt, Oregon State University: "This friendly world: How lucky habits and a non-adversarial worldview can increase your productivity and happiness."
  
• Sandy Lim, National University of Singapore: "Developing a field of research."
  
• Celia Moore, London Business School Business: "Grit: The importance of staying in the game."
  
• Jessica Rodell, University of Georgia: "Project evaluation and design."
  

Roundtable Facilitators w/Topics:

• Katy DeCelles, University of Toronto: "A two-tiered strategy for multi-methods research."
  
• Morela Hernandez, University of Virginia: "The art of writing good theory."

Participants can expect to:

• Hear about specific strategies for improving their productivity
