2009 PROGRAM CHAIR REPORT
|
HR Division Academy Program 2009
The HR Division Program this year in Chicago has something for everyone.
There will be numerous opportunities to meet all of your personal goals
for the conference, whether they be catching up on the latest research
trends or networking with individuals from all over the globe who share
your common interests in the management of human resources.
This year it is important to note that the Academy has changed the
schedule of the conference. To adjust to this change, the HR Executive
Committee has made significant changes to the schedule of some of the
events I know you will want to attend. The most significant of these
changes is that the HR Division Business Meeting and Reception are now
on Sunday rather than Tuesday. The times and locations for these
events are listed above in the note from Division Chair, Sandy Wayne.
The scholarly program now takes place on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. So
please plan on staying through the end of the day Tuesday, as there are
some great sessions scheduled that afternoon. Remember, there are no
sessions on Wednesday. The entire program will end at the end of the day
Tuesday. Here are a couple of highlights of what is a tremendous HR
Division Program:
- 18
traditional paper
sessions where researchers present their new ideas and findings.
Each session has four related papers.
- 30 interactive paper
sessions where presenters interact more directly with each other and
those interested in common ideas that may cut across traditional
boundaries. These sessions also include papers submitted to other
divisions.
- 8 visual paper sessions
where presenters post summaries of their papers and are personally
available for direct discussion.
- 32
symposia that range in
format from the more traditional paper session to panel sessions and
other innovative approaches. Most of these symposia are jointly
sponsored by other divisions within the Academy and offer many
topics that go beyond those in the traditional paper sessions.
This program would not have been possible without the incredible support
of the many members of uor division and many others who volunteered their
time to review submissions. In all, over 600 individuals from over 60
countries participated in the review process this year. I wish to thank
you all and the members who have volunteered to be session chairs and
discussants. Your names will appear in the conference program, but that
is little payment for the effort you gave to make this flow as smoothly
as it did.
I am very excited about the program and hope that you find it as useful
and interesting as I expect. For complete information about the
conference, including registration and hotel information, visit the
Academy of Management conference web site ( http://meetings.aomonline.org/2009).
I look forward to seeing you all in Chicago!

2009 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS
|
A diverse set of preconference Professional Development Workshops
(PDWs) has been scheduled for this year's annual Academy of Management
Meeting in Chicago. The preconference activities run from Friday, August
7 through Saturday, August 8. These PDWs were selected to build new
competencies in teaching and research related to how work organizations
can perform more effectively through better management of their human
resources. The format is highly flexible and takes nearly any form
(workshops, tutorials, panels, debates, roundtable discussions, etc.);
consequently, we are sure you will find something interesting and fun in
this list of events.
Below is a list of the PDW sessions for which HR is the leading sponsor.
More information about these sessions can be found at www.hrdiv.org. To see the rest of the PDW program and

2009 HR DIVISION JUNIOR FACULTY CONSORTIUM
|
ATTENTION JUNIOR FACULTY: Are you planning to attend the Academy of
Management Meetings in Chicago this year? If so, consider registering for
the HR Division's Junior Faculty Consortium.
The Human Resource (HR) Division is dedicated to a better understanding
of how work organizations can perform more effectively by better
management of their human resources.
We have put together a number of exciting sessions that should be of
interest to junior faculty striving to have a successful academic career.
We have designed a set of sessions relevant for U.S. and international
faculty at the starting gate of their careers. Sessions will include:
- Challenges of junior
faculty members (facilitated by David Lepak, Miguel Quiñones, Diane
Johnson, and Judy Tansky);
- Strategies for getting
research done (presented by Tim Judge and Jason Shaw);
- Juggling multiple demands
(presented by David Lepak, and Wendy Boswell);
- Getting tenure (presented
by Rich Klimoski, Mel Fugate, and Paul Tesluk);
- Strategies for effective
teaching (presented by Ian Williamson and Ken Brown);
- Responding to reviewers
(presented by Riki Takeuchi and John Hollenbeck);
- A journal editor's panel;
and
- Tips from past HR
Division leaders on how to succeed in a research career.
Who can attend? All junior faculty at academic institutions
(Assistant Professors, Lecturers, Senior Lecturers, and Postdocs) who
completed their PhDs within the past five years.
When is it? 2:00PM - 5:00PM on Friday, August 7 (including
dinner) and 8:30AM - 5:30PM on Saturday, August 8 (with an optional
reception from 5:30PM - 7:00PM).
How do I register? Register through the new PDW
central registration system, which can be accessed once you've registered
for the conference.
It should be a lot of fun, relaxed, and informative. There is no better
way to develop networking opportunities than through the Junior Faculty
Workshop. So, plan on arriving in Chicago by Friday afternoon so that you
can join our Junior Faculty Consortium.
For more information, please contact: David Lepak (
lepak@smlr.rutgers.edu) or Miguel Quinones ( quinones@cox.smu.edu).

2009 HR DOCTORAL STUDENT CONSORTIUM
|
The HR Doctoral Consortium will be part of the pre-conference program at
the 2009 Academy of Management meeting in Chicago. The Consortium will be
held on Saturday, August 8th, with a dinner scheduled for the evening of
Friday, August 7th. We have an exciting and informative program planned
for this year including group discussions on successful dissertation
completion, effective networking, finding the right job, and much more.
The program will also include a panel discussion with editors of major
journals, a keynote address by Gary Latham (University of Toronto),
presentations by the winners of the HR Division's Scholarly Achievement
and Early Career Achievements Awards, and the opportunity to receive
research feedback from successful scholars.
Students interested in attending the consortium should have their primary
advisor send a short nomination email to Fred Morgeson (morgeson@msu. edu) by June
1st. This email (or attachments) should include:
- A letter from the
nominee's primary advisor providing a general appraisal of the
nominee, including an assessment of his/her progress toward a
dissertation defense, expected defense date, and subject of
dissertation.
- A 1-2 page description of
the nominee's dissertation idea/methodology and progress on the
dissertation.
- A one-page bio
summarizing the nominee's contact information (mailing address,
email address, phone number), research and teaching interests, and
publications. This one-page bio will be distributed among consortium
participants.
The Consortium is intended for students who have made
significant progress toward completing their Ph.D. program but have not
yet defended their dissertation. Priority will be given to advanced
students who are at the dissertation proposal stage. Because space is
limited, only one student per program is typically allowed to
participate, but additional students from a given program will be
considered on a space available basis after the nomination deadline.
If you have any questions regarding the consortium, please feel free to
contact Fred (morgeson@msu.
edu).

INTERNATIONAL HRM COMMITTEE REPORT
|
As the new chair of the IHRM Committee, I'd like to thank Bing Bai, Paul
Boselie, Pawan Budhwar, Liza Castro Christiansen, Naj Ghosheh, Deanne Den
Hartog, James Hayton, John Hollenbeck, David Meyer, and Sumita Raghuram
for agreeing to be members of this committee. I'd also like to give
special recognition to Liza Castro Christiansen for chairing the PDW
sub-committee and John Hollenbeck for chairing the Ambassadors
sub-committee and their outstanding work on these sub-committees. The
website of the IHRMC (http://www.cba.uh. edu/ihrmc) is now in its 11th
year. The website is designed to provide academics interested in
International Human Resource Management information regarding the
committee and the ambassadors program.
Please be aware that this committee exists to provide needed services to
Academy members interested in International HRM. For this coming year our
hope is to create more awareness of international human resource
management activities and opportunities. We have two projects we are
currently working on to achieve this. Our first project focuses on the
Ambassadors Program created by John Hollenbeck. He is chairing the
sub-committee which will continue to develop the program. This is an
exciting initiative. John has identified division members that are
opinion leaders around the world. So far more than 50 different countries
are represented. Please go to the website to see a list and profiles of
the ambassadors.
Second, we have two pre-conference workshops for the upcoming Chicago
meeting. The first PDW is an opportunity for the ambassadors to get
together to work on a planned casebook and research project. It is titled
"Two-in-One: A Casebook on the Critical HR Dimensions in Different
Countries and an Article Series on (a Cross-National Survey of) the
Perceived Effectiveness of HR". It is scheduled for Friday, August
7th from 8:00AM - 11:00AM in the Erie Room of the Sheraton Chicago. The
second PDW is titled "Location, Location, Location: Developing
International Perspectives on Strategic HRM". All academy members
interested in international HRM research are invited. We hope that you
plan to attend.
Although we have these two projects on-going, the committee is always
open to undertaking other projects. If you have any suggestions or
comments of other services this Committee could provide please do not
hesitate to let us know. Thanks and have a great year!
