Dear colleagues,
Our apologies for (potential) cross-posting.
We would like to send you a gentle reminder about two exciting proposals for an EAWOP symposium on psychological contracts (May 17th - 20th 2017, Dublin, Ireland).
The first symposium, organised by Yannick Griep and Tim Vantilborgh, will deal with the theoretical, methodological, and practical challenges faced when conducting research on the processes underlying an employee's psychological contract. In this symposium, we would like to invite scholars who are conducting empirical research on the processes underlying an employee's psychological contract within these recent theoretical advancements in Psychological Contract Theory. While presenting their research, we invite the presenters to discuss one or more theoretical, methodological, and practical challenges they faced when conducting their research, as well as to explain how they dealt with these specific challenges. By doing so, we hope to illustrate how these recent theoretical advancements in Psychological Contract Theory can be investigated, as well as provide advice on how to deal with the associated challenges. In addition to four research presentations, Prof. Violet Ho (Editorial Board Journal of Organizational Behavior), Prof. Samantha Hansen (Editorial Board Journal of Applied Psychology), and Prof. Kevin Daniels (Editorial Board European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology) will discuss their insights on ways to deal with these theoretical, methodological, and practical challenges.
The second symposium, organised by Yannick Griep and Samantha Hansen, is aimed at advancing the field of psychological contracts by furthering our knowledge of intra-phase processes (e.g., duration of violation reactions in Repair or how perceived obligations change over time in Maintenance), inter-phase transitions (e.g., how and when employees move from Creation to Maintenance or from Renegotiation to Maintenance), and post-violation reactions. We will aim to have 4 to 5 scholars speak about their original work in this symposium and a Discussant facilitate an exciting discussion on the topics presented.
If you have research that fits any of the above mentioned symposia, and if you are interested in participant in an EAWOP symposium, please contact Yannick Griep (yannick.griep@ucalgary.ca) with the following information: - Title of research
- Authors and affiliations
- Abstract (max 250 words) containing information on: 1) purpose, 2) design/methodology, 3) results, 4) limitations, 5) research/practical implications, and 6) originality/value
- Contact information (name, e-mail, phone-number)
The submission deadline for the EAWOP2017 conference is September 27th, 2016. We therefore request that you email us before September 15th, 2016.
