Attention leadership scholars! You are invited to participate in the following AOM PDW:
Some Words of Advice: A Mentoring Session to Promote High Quality Leadership Research
Session #13548
Scheduled: Saturday, Aug 2, 2014, 3:15PM - 5:15PM at Philadelphia Marriott Downtown in Grand Ballroom Salon J
This Academy of Management PDW provides students and junior faculty the opportunity to discuss their leadership research in an informal, collegial, roundtable setting with prominent leadership scholars. Based on their proposed research theory and methods, the junior scholars will be matched with a more senior scholar with similar research interests (not from their home university). At the workshop, the senior scholar will discuss research proposals submitted by the junior scholars, providing insights and suggestions for future research directions.
In addition to individual research projects, we welcome members of project teams. We also encourage scholars who are looking for collaboration with scholars in the leadership network. The senior leadership scholars (all members of The Leadership Quarterly Editorial Board) who will be mentoring the junior scholars are: Kevin Lowe, Chet Schriesheim, John Antonakis, Gary Yukl, Ronit Kark, Terri Scandura, Fran Yammarino, William Gardner, Michael Mumford, Robert Lord, Ron Riggio, Fred Walumbwa, Sean Hannah, and Mary Sully de Luque.
The focus of the PDW will be on developing theoretical foundations and designing high quality empirical studies. We promote use of various methods that would benefit from collaborations with other scholars; e.g., multiple comparative case studies, incident diaries, field experiments. This is a great opportunity for the junior scholars to develop their ideas, and to establish new collaborative relationships. This PDW is one of the few sessions at the conference which will give people a venue to get direct feedback on their work in progress. It is not suited for participants with completed research projects.
To participate in this workshop:
- Participants must submit a research proposal to Dr. Marie Dasborough by June 6, 2014 (m.dasborough@miami.edu) before registering for this PDW online. In the email submission, participants should indicate if they are a doctoral student or faculty member. They should also indicate their top 3 preferences for who they would like to work with from the list of senior leader scholars.
- Once the research proposal has been received, participants will then receive an approval code so they can register online.
