This PDW is especially for members to feel “at home” in the Organizational Behavior (OB) Division by expanding their network of scholars interested in similar research areas. We designed the forum to provide members a platform to meet leading scholars in specific OB research topic areas, get to know other members of the Division, and discuss research ideas. The PDW will include three 25-minutes rounds of discussion that are moderated by accomplished scholars who serve as experts in a particular topic area of OB research.

The research themes will span a wide range of OB topics, including: alternative work arrangements; contextual aspects of work (e.g., socialization, culture, & climate); creativity & innovation; dark side of OB; diversity; emotions, affect and attitudes; ethics, justice/fairness, and trust; identity & identification; leadership (tables for relational leadership, behavioral leadership, destructive leadership); motivation and engagement; personality and individual differences; power, politics, and social influence processes; stress and well-being; team composition and diversity; team processes and dynamics; time and temporal dynamics; social networks; voice and proactivity; and work-life interface. As in years past, we anticipate in-depth research discussions and the facilitation of many meaningful connections among the participants and members of the OB Division.

Many research studies have commenced with the hope they will have significant theoretical and practical implications. Many researchers want to help create a better world by making a difference within their scholarly communities and within organizations where managers and professionals practice. Yet, these important insights are often not read by “real world” leaders, managers, and professionals. In our quest to be more inclusive in sharing our research, it is increasingly important to consider new ways of providing managers greater access to our research findings. This PDW focuses on how researchers can have a greater impact on practice by publishing in journals that are circulated beyond the Academy. Senior editors representing “bridging” journals (Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Management Review, People + Strategy Journal, California Management Review) will share insights on how to publish in venues that impact both academics and practitioners. In addition, researchers will share a priori research development strategies that set up projects with a greater chance to make a difference beyond the academy in the “real world” to improve lives. Researchers and editors will lead a highly interactive and participative session on this topic, which will include audience dialogue and roundtable discussions.

The new PDW sponsored by the Making Connections Committee of the OB Division “Speaking Science” focuses on developing skills to become better storytellers of our research and “say yes” to science communications.

In this 2.5 hour session, we will cover several key skills in effective science communication including how to craft a story, how to eliminate jargon and hone in on the focal story, identifying and tailoring the story to your audience, and gaining insights from communication professionals outside of the academy. The session will couple best practices in media communications with relevant theater improvisation skills to provide participants with the opportunity to learn and practice the importance of science communication and experience the value of communicating their research to non-expert audiences. It will be an engaging, challenging, information, and fun session. Join us!

As in organizational life, there are numerous barriers that detriment female scholars in academia generally and in the field of organizational sciences, specifically. Indeed, akin to the ‘glass ceiling’ phenomenon within organizations, women in academia suffer from similar gender inequities (e.g., field-level structural barriers, lack of organizational support, social support concerns, and limited allyship). As such, the aim of the proposed professional development workshop (PDW) is to shed light on the challenges that female scholars face in our field and generate ideas and solutions for changes that can help women overcome some of these barriers. To do so, this session invites leading scholars to apply insights from their own, and others’, research and knowledge on gender and organizational bias to the field of management. The panelist presentations will be followed by breakout sessions where participants are able to have open conversations with the panelists and engage in a discussion of possible solutions to the barriers women scholars face. Combined, this PDW seeks to broaden our understanding of women’s experiences in the Academy and find solutions to better meet the needs of female scholars and facilitate their success in the field. This PDW is slated to be one of the flagship PDWs of the OB Division.

In this PDW, we draw from current research on team diversity, multiple team membership, and virtual teams, to learn how we can successfully manage complex academic collaborations. The primary goals of this PDW are (1) to enhance participants’ awareness of how they can effectively work together in diverse, multiple and/or virtual teams, and (2) to derive practical strategies they can use after the PDW to increase their own success in academic collaborations. The PDW will begin with a brief introduction to the concepts of team diversity, multiple team membership, and virtual teams, followed by small group discussions in which participants reflect on when they were most successful in their academic collaborations. Drs. Lauren D'Innocenzo, Sujin Jang, and Travis Maynard will then present their cutting-edge research in this field, proposing a set of practical strategies to help participants find opportunities to make their academic collaborations more rewarding and fruitful. Then, participants will develop an action plan for incorporating strategies in their daily lives to make their collaborations more effective and share them with other participants. Finally, the practical and theoretical insights will be discussed and put into perspective by Dr. Deborah Ancona. The PDW will conclude with a summative discussion of key learnings.

Departing from a vast body of research of work-related factors that deplete employees' energy through self-control processes the present symposium aims to advance our understanding of how work can enhance employees' energy. To do this we draw- and expand on self- determination theory (SDT) and particularly focus on basic needs satisfaction and associated autonomous self-regulation (as opposed to self-control) as psychological mechanisms that link work-and non-work- related factors and behaviors to employees' subjective vitality - a state of enhanced psychological energy. The four studies included in this symposium identify employees' work commute, the joint support of one’s supervisor and colleagues, consistent displays of high servant leadership, and daily mindfulness as determinants of employees’ satisfaction of their individual needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness as well as of balanced need satisfaction, which in turn promote autonomous regulation and associated subjective vitality. Accordingly, these studies comprehensively map to and extend our understanding of the motivational process outlined in self- determination theory. First, by identifying a set of work-related factors that facilitate employees' energy, second by focusing on novel mechanisms in the form of balanced needs satisfaction and flow experiences as a form of autonomous regulation, and third by identifying boundary conditions such as preference for need satisfaction, colleague support, consistency of servant leadership, and trait autonomy that influence the proposed motivational processes outlined by SDT. Last but not least the symposium outlines how employees can turn work from a depleting into an energizing experience.

We invite researchers interested in participating to submit a short description of their research at the interface of OB and ENT that they seek to further develop. This can be a short research proposal, an extended summary of a study that you seek to develop for publication, or something that is in-between these two stages of research. At the PDW, you will receive feedback on your research from one of our expert panelists.

 

Submissions should be no longer than 10 pages all included (12 font, 1 in margins, double-spaced) and received no later than June 1, 2022 (but we encourage submitting earlier). Submission should be send to Daan van Knippenberg dlv39@drexel.edu.

 

There is a cap on the number of participants this PDW is able to host. We will therefore select submissions based on fit with the PDW and quality, and follow up with an accept/reject decision asap after June 1. Please note that as with all AOM program activities, submitting your application implies a commitment to participate in the (in-person) session if accepted.

This PDW is aimed at attracting scholars from various contributing disciplines, including Organizational Behavior, Human Resources, Public and Nonprofit Management, and Social Issues in Management. Research topics include, among others, corporate volunteering programs, volunteer management, and individual strategies for managing the intersection of work and volunteering. Our objectives are: (1) bringing together the inter-divisional research community focusing on work and volunteering; (2) supporting and developing ideas and manuscripts through feedback and discussions; (3) discussing ways forward and visions for the research community and the literature to which we contribute. Sections of the workshop will include an overview of the field of research, round-table discussions of pre-submitted papers and research ideas as well as a plenary discussion.

 

Submissions/Registration:

We welcome working papers and extended abstracts (min. 1,500 words for abstracts) on the above topics, to be submitted to Bethania Antunes (b.antunes@surrey.ac.uk) by the deadline June 20, 2022. We will accept a maximum of 20 working papers/extended abstracts based on research relevance and quality.

We invite you to submit a research proposal for the 14th Annual OB Research Incubator, a Professional Development Workshop that provides an exciting opportunity for researchers to receive constructive feedback and guidance from senior OB scholars and ignite connections and ongoing dialogue around topics of common interest. This session is open to both junior and senior scholars who are conducting research on OB-related topics.

 

During the virtual session, participants will meet in a small group setting with leading OB scholars, who will provide direct and specific feedback on your research project. Feedback will be particularly focused on helping you address the challenges you are currently facing in bringing a project to fruition.

 

In order to increase engagement with the session and value of the feedback, proposals may be shared with the other participant(s) assigned to a specific facilitator. If you do not want your proposal shared this way, please specifically note that on the submission form.

Learning to manage work and life outside of work continues to be one of the largest challenges for academics. Couple this recurrent struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic and it is easy to understand why we are currently facing a well-being crisis. In this PDW, we invite you to hear from leading scholars in the field about their own personal experiences of burnout and work-life balance as well as how they have navigated this tension in their own lives. Throughout the session, we will provide a safe space to connect with others, receive support, and workshop a personal game plan to manage these tensions and develop healthier strategies that focus on both preventing and managing burnout. Participants in this virtual PDW will also be invited to an in-person social at AOM 2022 in Seattle to reconnect with the speakers, panelists, and other attendees and reflect on their success in implementing their “academic well-being game plan.”
