I am not sure that you aren't reinventing the wheel here in your project. See for examples these classical psychology repositories:
I recall when doing my PhD thesis finding many classic papers from Maslow, Rogers and more in such websites readily available, and very useful too.

Hello Everyone,
I am working on compiling a list of must read classic articles in motivation. The focus is on more classic works that have defined and/or impacted the field of motivation significantly. I am looking for suggestions for individual articles or even outlines for courses focussed on classic studies in motivation.
Looking forward to some help in putting this compilation together.
Thanks in advance.

I teach introductory OB online to undergraduate students. I am looking for a textbook that is suited to online teaching, which (to my mind) means that it should be engaging, relatively brief, and emphasize the big ticket concepts and applications. It'd like it to be evidence-based, too.. Many of the texts I've examined are long on relatively unimportant facts and pseudo-facts and short on stimulating ideas. I want the students to get excited about OB.

Locke and Latham have a great summary of motivation in AMR from 10 years ago - has a diagram linking all the different theories that provides a nice framework.
Locke, E. A., & Latham, G. P. (2004). What should we do about motivation theory? Six recommendations for the twenty-first century. Academy of Management Review, 29(3), 388-403. Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory and the role of self-efficacy in work motivation are well documented but not well publicized. Meta analyses by Alex Stajkovic and Fred Luthans shows self-efficacy is a better predictor of performance than other motivation tools such as goal setting or feedback and coaching. He has many books and articles but from a work perspective, his article with Bob Wood is probably the best summary. Wood, R., & Bandura, A. 1989. Social cognitive theory of organizational management.

Call For Papers
European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology Special Issue: Dynamics of team adaptation and team cognition
Guest Editors
Josette M.P. Gevers , Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands Ana Margarida Passos, Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL), Portugal Sjir Uitdewilligen, Maastricht University, The Netherlands Organizations are faced with unstable and dynamic environments that require continuous improvements not only in products and services but also in their overall functioning (Pulakos, Arad, Donovan, & Plamondon, 2000). As a result organizations have often reverted to team based structures for fostering the required flexibility and adaptability to deal with rapid shifts in context. Although the body of knowledge concerning factors that impact team performance has increased over the last decades (e.g. Kozlowski & Ilgen, 2006; Mathieu, Maynard, Rapp, & Gilson, 2008), relatively few studies specifically address how teams adapt to novel and challenging circumstances (LePine, 2005; Randall, Resick, & DeChurch, 2011). This is all the more critical since it is particularly during novel, non-routine situations that effective team performance becomes most crucial and at the same time most difficult to uphold (Waller, 1999). More specifically, recent theoretical work suggests that a longitudinal and integrative approach to adaptation research may help to foster an in-depth understanding of the dynamic nature of adaptive processes (Baard, Rench & Kozlowski, 2013; Burke, Stagle, Salas, Pierce, & Kendall, 2006). Previous research suggests team cognition is quintessential to understand team adaptation (Burke et al., 2006; DeChurch & Mesmer-Magnus, 2010). However, although recent theorizing emphasizes the dynamic nature of team cognition (Rico et al., 2008; Kozlowski & Chao, 2013) empirical studies have predominantly embraced a static approach in which teams' cognitive structures and process are operationalized as stable characteristics, and cognitive constructs as well as outcome measures are assessed at a single point in time. Yet, particularly in environments where team members have to adapt regularly to changing environmental contingencies, team cognition is likely to be characterized as an unfolding process, as teams adapt their cognitive structures to the changing demands of their task environments (Randall, Resick, & DeChurch, 2011; Uitdewilligen, Waller, & Pitariu, 2013). Moreover, although there is a general recognition in the literature of team cognition as an emergent phenomenon "by which lower level system elements interact and through those dynamics create phenomena that manifest at a higher level of the system" (Kozlowski & Chao, 2013, p. 335), still little is known about how these emergent processes unfold over time. The purpose of this special issue therefore is to serve as a springboard for a more dynamic approach to assess team functioning in dynamic environments, and to address the dynamics of cognition in situations that require teams to adapt to unexpected changes in their task environments. A key focus of papers submitted should be the recognition of the longitudinal changing nature of team functioning including cognitive processes and structures. The concepts employed may include but are not limited to: compilation and composition emergence, flux and adaptation, non-routine events, shared cognition emergence, collective sensemaking, team reflexivity, team metacognition, and team learning. Submissions to this special issue could cover, but are not restricted to the following topics: · Empirical studies as well as theories that explain the role of team cognition, team processes and emergent states in adaptive processes. For instance, papers that focus on the cognitive processes involved when teams adapt to novel circumstances or studies investigating the effects of environmental turbulence on cognitive dynamics and emergence. · Studies that measure team cognitive structure and processes over time in dynamic contexts. For instance by investigating the emergence of composition and compilation of team cognition over time or studies that investigate the rigidity or flexibility of team cognition. Or papers that introduce, demonstrate, or assess innovative measures, methods or techniques for assessing and analyzing team adaptation and/or team cognition over time. · Theoretical or empirical work that addresses specific contexts or sources of change demanding adaptation in teams, such as innovation processes in organizations, reactions to unexpected events, crisis and emergencies (medical, environmental, organizational failures), interactions between teams in multiteam systems, or organizational change processes in general. Submission Method Manuscripts should be submitted by Friday April 28th, 2014. Authors should adhere to the EJWOP Instructions for Authors when preparing their manuscripts. All submitted manuscripts are subject to a double blind academic review process. They will be evaluated based on their contribution to the topic and the regular EJWOP review criteria. For further information, or if you have any questions about suitability of your work, please contact the editors: Please distribute widely. Thank you.

SUBMISSION
Submissions of two types are invited: In order to encourage a diversity of innovative ideas from a variety of fields, submissions may refer to work that is recently published, under review elsewhere, or in preparation, and may link to up to one publicly accessible paper for the purpose of describing the work in detail. However, submissions will be evaluated solely on the submitted abstract, which must therefore comprise an entirely self-contained description of the work. After review by the Program Committee, a subset of submitted papers will be invited for oral presentation, as well as for presentation as posters and/or demos. A second subset will also be invited exclusively for presentation as posters and/or demos. Accepted submissions (including for posters and demos) will be compiled into a single report which will be made available on http://arxiv.org. We emphasize that published abstracts are not intended to be considered archival publications or to preclude submission of the reported work to archival journals; however, we cannot guarantee that certain journals do not have policies precluding the publishing of extended abstracts. Authors will not receive detailed feedback from the review process, and accepted abstracts will be included as submitted (i.e. submissions should be camera-ready). IMPORTANT DATES
Extended abstract submission deadline: January 15, 2014 Notification of acceptance / rejection: February 15, 2014 Conference dates: June 10-12, 2014 PROGRAM CHAIRS

-- Elizabeth Gerber, PhD Breed Junior Chair of Design Mechanical Engineering Hi Hannah, I know everyone has their personal preferences on textbooks so I will throw in my two cents! I have been using the Colquitt, LePine, and Wesson OB textbook for a couple of years now and find it to be engaging, research based, and covers more contemporary topics, in my opinion. I think they have an "Essentials" version, which I haven't used, that would fit the brevity component for the on-line audience. Good luck!
