Dear Division Leaders,

Please see the following announcement about Advanced Training Institutes offered in the summer of 2020.

The American Psychological Association will sponsor four Advanced Training Institutes (ATIs) in the summer of 2020- Application deadlines begin March 23.

The American Psychological Association Prize for Interdisciplinary Team Research recognizes an interdisciplinary research team that includes one or more psychological scientists in major roles and has produced significant scientific work. The team selected for the prize will receive $5000 to help support its continued research.

Interdisciplinary research is becoming increasingly prominent across all areas of science. Research that integrates approaches from more than one field can lead to new insights into complex problems and to the development of novel interventions and technologies.

Such work often requires researchers from varied scientific backgrounds to form collaborative teams. The team members must gain an understanding of a one another’s scientific concepts, methods and cultures, and their individual efforts must be carefully coordinated.

When a manuscript is submitted to Academy of Management Journal (AMJ), editors and reviewers frequently ask: Does the study define a new conversation (theory/lens/paradigm) or divert an existing conversation into a meaningfully different area? Conversations about management and organizations are regularly taking place outside the field of management and its journals as well. Those outside of our field and academic halls may conceptualize organizations and management differently, emphasize organizational and managerial characteristics that are relevant to them, and focus on problems that have not received attention in our studies.

The objective of this Special Research Forum (SRF) is to encourage AMJ authors to join conversations on management and organizations that are taking place in societies around the world. Specifically, we would like to publish a collection of outstanding empirical studies that (1) contribute to the solutions of contemporary managerial and organizational problems and (2) introduce topics to AMJ readers that are seen as important outside of our field but are understudied by management scholars. Examples of such topics include the effects of caste systems on employment, discrimination, socioeconomic status and class in organizations, sexual harassment, diversity and inclusion in the workplace, organizational values, labor strikes, artificial intelligence, global health inequities, the movement of workforce across borders, bribery, political influence, private politics, transnational organizations, interconnected economic systems, and the organizational implications of national conflicts, wars, and international trade agreements and sanctions.

I am a graduate learner under the direction of Dr. Jay Avella in the College of Doctoral Studies at Grand Canyon University. I am conducting a research study to investigate the relationship between narcissistic personality traits, job satisfaction, workplace expectations, entitlement, and millennials.  The study will add knowledge about millennials in the workplace.

I am recruiting individuals to complete an online survey consisting of 77 questions and 7 demographic questions which will take approximately 17 minutes.  You are eligible to participate in this study if you are:

Dear colleagues,

We are currently conducting a meta-analysis on effort gains and effort losses in teams. By now, we have nearly completely coded the published literature.

Now, we are looking for unpublished data. If you have any unpublished data fulfilling the criteria summarized below, we would be very grateful if you could share this data with us. As we would be happy to finish our meta-analysis soon, we would greatly appreciate it if you could do so as soon as possible.
