    Please keep your nominations as succinct as possible and follow the submission instructions.

    Call for the 2026 OB Division Lifetime Achievement Award

    The OB Division Lifetime Achievement Award, established in 2005, recognizes senior scholars who have made exceptional contributions to our discipline throughout their careers. To be eligible for the award, an individual must have completed his or her PhD (or finished his or her training/education) at least twenty years ago. The individual must be a truly outstanding scholar. He or she will have published in the very best journals and conducted research that has had a significant impact on the field. Finally, recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award have contributed not only through their scholarship but through service to the field. For example, they may have served as editors of leading journals, held leadership positions with the Division or the Academy, and/or been exceptional teachers and mentors for doctoral students. The winner is required to attend the annual conference and give a presentation in the same year as receiving the award.

    Please find the full criteria, which are ordered by the OB Division’s principles of rigor, relevance, and relationships (noting the criteria are identical for Lifetime Achievement and Early to Mid-Career Awards, but the expected level of achievement differs).

    For the Lifetime Achievement Award, the nominator must submit the following information as part of the nomination package: 

    1. A nomination letter by an OB Division member, noting that self-nominations are welcome.
    2. A current Curriculum Vitae (CV).

    Call for the 2026 OB Division Award for Societal Impact

     

    Scholarly work with societal impact is both scientifically credible and valuable to society; it produces societally beneficial knowledge that aims to make the world a better place. This work will often address, but is not limited to, the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, for example: health and well-being, income and social inequality, and environmental preservation. To both recognize and incentivize such work in organizational behavior, the OB Division is inviting nominations for the OB Division Award for Societal Impact.

     

    This award recognizes a body of work, rather than a single conference submission or published article, given that scholarship addressing grand societal problems is often incredibly challenging, unfolding over many years of persistence. The work may be published in traditional research outlets; however, it can also be evidenced in monographs, policy papers, books, curriculum, or interventions that may not receive recognition in other forums. Yet, through its application of organizational behavior scholarship, it has the potential to change the world. The award winner will be announced at the Academy of Management conference.

     

    To be eligible for this award, the scholar’s work must:

    1. Use organizational behavior knowledge to address problem(s) that relate to timely and critical societal challenges in the business, economic, societal or environmental spheres
    2. Demonstrate strong credibility through rigorous methods, analysis, and/ or application
    3. Inform and provide actionable insights for policies or practices to improve the wellbeing and performance of people (employees, managers, customers, suppliers), organizations, and/ or societies.

    The deadline to submit for the 2026 OB Division Societal Impact Award is February 9, 2026 using this.

     

    Past award winners:

    Call for the 2026 OB Division Mentorship Award

     

    The OB Division Mentorship Award recognizes a scholar who has excelled at mentoring others in achieving their career objectives through moral, social, and intellectual support. We define each of these criteria in more detail below:

     

    • Intellectual support: Helps the mentee develop ideas constructively (e.g., by brainstorming, offering a sounding board, suggesting a diverse perspective, providing written feedback) – investing one’s intellectual capital in the service of mentees.
    • Social support: Helps the mentee develop a professional network that will allow him/her to be successful (e.g., introducing them to others, writing reference letters, suggesting them as coauthors/reviewers/editors) – investing one’s social capital in the service of mentees.
    • Personal support: Genuinely cares about the wellbeing and development of the mentee (e.g., encouragement through difficult times, helps maintain self-efficacy, provides perspective or specific career/work strategies) – investing one’s personal energy in the service of mentees.

    Any member of the OB Division is eligible for this award. This award is not meant to recognize research productivity, advocacy activities in the field, or personal longevity in the field but rather to recognize a scholar who has an impactful effect on other scholars through their outstanding mentorship. To be eligible, the person needs a minimum of three mentees who are willing to write a letter of nomination on behalf of their mentor. Based on the letters or recommendation received, a young and upcoming artist, being mentored by a more senior artist, will develop a personalized piece of art representing the award winner as a mentor. The award winner will be announced at the Academy of Management Conference. To nominate an individual for the Mentorship Award, a nomination packet must include:

     

    1. A letter of nomination that identifies the candidate, the individual(s) making the nomination, and a short motivation about why this person is being nominated (one page, single spaced);
    2. As supporting evidence, we ask the three nominators to each write a supporting letter (one page, single spaced) about how this person (mentor) has impacted their development, career and lives. These letters will be used as input for the artist crafting the award. We need a minimum of three, and a maximum of 10, letters per person. Nominations are accepted from all OB Division members.
    3. If you nominated a candidate in a prior year/years who was not successful, you will need to resubmit the nomination materials this year.

    The deadline to submit for the 2026 OB Division Mentorship Award is February 9, 2026 using this.

  • Transform Your OB Experience: Join a MicroCommunity Today!

    By: Harry Wang Harry Wang , 4 months ago
    Dear OB Division Members,
     
    In a division of over 6,000 scholars spanning 60+ countries, finding your intellectual home can feel daunting. That's why we're excited to spotlight our MicroCommunities initiative—your gateway to meaningful connections and collaborative research within our global community.
     
    WHAT ARE MICROCOMMUNITIES?
    MicroCommunities are small, self-organized groups that bring our vast division down to human scale. These dynamic networks connect members around shared research interests, career stages, or professional goals—creating spaces for deep conversations, ongoing collaboration, and authentic belonging.
     
    CURRENT MICROCOMMUNITIES:
    • Affect, Organizational Cultures, & Multicultural Management
    • Leadership and Emotions Community
    • Modern Team Arrangements
    • New Directions in Gender Research
    • Relationships Across Differences (RADs)
    • Social Networks Society
    • Trust
    • Work-Nonwork
    • Workplace – Rethinking Where Work Happens
     
    HOW THEY WORK:
    Each MicroCommunity finds its own rhythm. Some meet virtually throughout the year for research collaborations. Others share resources, develop symposia, or work on joint publications. The cornerstone is our MicroCommunity Coffee Hours at AOM—welcoming gatherings designed to launch new connections and strengthen existing ones.
     
    AOM 2025 OPPORTUNITIES:
    We've created customized itineraries for six MicroCommunities at AOM 2025 in Copenhagen, helping you navigate the conference with your scholarly tribe. Visit ob.aom.org/about-us/microcommunities to download your community's roadmap.
     
    GET INVOLVED:
    • Join an existing MicroCommunity by contacting its leaders (details on our website)
    • Start a new MicroCommunity around your research passion
    • Attend Coffee Hours at AOM 2025 to explore different communities
     
    LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES:
    We're actively seeking field leaders to create and sustain new MicroCommunities. If you're interested in stewarding a group, contact:
    • Kira Schabram, Pennsylvania State University: schabram@psu.edu
    OR
    • Fadel Matta, University of Georgia: fmatta@uga.edu
    • Kate Zipay, Purdue University: kzipay@purdue.edu
     
    Whether you're exploring cutting-edge research on hybrid teams, advancing gender scholarship beyond binary frameworks, or investigating trust dynamics in global organizations, there's a MicroCommunity waiting for you.
     
    Transform your OB Division experience from overwhelming to intimate. Find your people. Stay connected year-round. Advance scholarship that matters.
     
    Visit ob.aom.org/about-us/microcommunities to learn more and join today.
     
    With warm regards,
     
    OB Division Executive Committee
