    Dear colleagues, 

     

    With AOM 2017 in Atlanta right around the corner, we would like to invite you to two sessions related to the use of wearable sensor technology in organizational research.

     

     

    The first is a Professional Development Workshop (PDW) designed to expose participants to various configurations of wearable sensors and instruct research on how to incorporate these technologies into their own research.

     

    Submission: 10638 | Sponsor(s): (RM, OB, ENT) 
    Scheduled: Saturday, Aug 5 2017 8:00AM - 10:30AM at Hilton Atlanta in Room 308

    Using Wearable Sensor Technology to Advance
    Organizational Research
    Wearable Sensors in Research

    The miniaturization of technological innovations has expanded the ways that researchers can measure and assess organizational phenomena. The advent and proliferation of wearable sensors in the modern workplace offers many potential benefits, as well as obstacles, for organizational researchers. The purpose of this workshop is to expose researchers to various configurations of sensors and their uses, and to instruct researchers on how to incorporate such methods into their own work. Led by researchers who are at the forefront of using this emerging technology in their own research, workshop participants will learn how to use wearable sensors through illustrative pedagogical presentations, a panel discussion, and focused round table working groups.

    The use of wearable sensor technology offers many potential benefits for organizational researchers. Wearable sensors can avoid the limitations of many biases associated with survey data as well as generate large volumes of extremely fine-grain data on individual interactions and group dynamics. This symposium brings together a set of papers with the aim to increase the research community's awareness and advance our understanding of how the potential benefits of wearable sensor technology can be leverage for organizational research.
