At the AOM Annual Meeting in Vancouver, August 2015, the Professional
Development Workshop ?Psychological Foundations of Management: Core
Self-Evaluation, Hubris and Humility? has met with notable success
gathering more than 55 scholars from around the world. Building on
this previous experience, the follow-up PDW 2.0 aims to intensify
research on how specific psychological heuristics might be associated
with different sets of advantages or managerial traps. In this vein,
we ask: When does the ?bright side? of hubristic CEO emerge? What is
the ?dark side? of CEO humility? How do business owners and
entrepreneurs? core self-evaluations have some bearings on success and
failure of new ventures?
Answers to these questions are instrumental in shaping more effective
strategic and entrepreneurial decision processes. In such a way, the
PDW intends to discuss some of the most relevant challenges we ought
to tackle in exploring the psychological foundations of management.
Part 2 of the PDW presents a set of roundtable interactions
Informal roundtable conversations concerned with the psychological
foundations of management research are excellent occasions to share
new ideas.
They encourage fruitful debate and lively discussions about a set of
pre-selected promising emerging research works stemming from the
investigation of scholars from throughout the globe.
Pre-registration is always required. Participants to Part 2 of the PDW
will be selected by the organizers: (a) on the relevance and fit of
their research with the PDW?s aims, as well as on the academic quality
and impact of their submissions. Part 2 of the PDW offers space for
25-30 participants. The eligibility and submission requirements are to
submit in ONLY ONE PDF FILE: (1) a bio sketch or a full CV; (2) the
most recent version of their research paper or, alternatively, an
extended abstract (of about 1.000 words) of the paper that they would
like to discuss in the workshop; (3) a cover letter clearly stating
the question(s) with which they are struggling with.
The deadline for paper submissions and workshop registration is July 1, 2016.
TIME FOR THE DEADLINE IS RUNNING FAST: PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR WORK ASAP!
The symposium is twin to another relevant research project, also aimed
to advance the existing debate on psychological heuristics and biases
of strategic leadership: the Symposium ntitled "Psychological
Heuristics and Biases in Management: Executives? Personality Traits
and Core Self-Evaluations", that is scheduled for Monday, August 8
2016, from 8:00am-9:30am at the Hilton Anaheim in Lido B.
Taken together, the two venues target to play an pivotal role in
building and enhancing a community of managementscholars and
researchers that are concerned with such intriguing issues as core
self-evaluation, hubris, and humility.
