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Now, we are looking for unpublished data. If you have any unpublished data fulfilling the criteria summarized below, we would be very grateful if you could share this data with us.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.

APA’s Publications and Communications (P&C) Board has opened nominations for the editorship of the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology for the years 2022–2026. Peter Chen, PhD, is the incumbent editor.

Candidates should be available to start receiving manuscripts in early 2021 to prepare for issues published in 2022.

Please note that the P&C Board encourages participation by members of underrepresented groups in the publication process and would particularly welcome such nominees. Self-nominations are also encouraged. James Campbell (Jim) Quick, PhD and Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, PhD, will co-chair the search.

Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday. Can you extend your giving one more day? Consider a gift to the SIOP Foundation, the only charitable organization focused solely on advancing the field of I-O psychology through support of cutting-edge research. The mission statement says it all: Connect donors with IO professionals to create smarter workplaces. Foundation donors support IO with endowments and term gifts that fund grants, scholarships, and awards.

In today’s climate, organizations need leaders who can turn on a dime. Identifying, and investing in, those potential leaders early in career or tenure to the organization is important.

Although learning agility--the ability to learn from experiences and then apply that knowledge to new conditions and environments--is starting to be seen as an important construct trait when it comes to identifying organizational leadership, there hasn’t been a lot of work done on how that trait impacts learning and performance over time. Erin Laxson, PhD, a managing consultant with Hogan Assessments, found that curious. After all, organizations were starting to invest in employees who demonstrated behaviors associated with learning agility, but how did that predict future career success for individuals, and in turn how those individuals contributed to their organizations?

In her presentation, “The Impact of Learning Agility on Career Success,” at the 2019 SIOP Annual Conference she took an in-depth look at the links between learning agility and learning and performance—two indicators of career success.
