Who Is a Leader?

As SIOP 2013 draws near, we’re highlighting industrial-organizational psychology perspectives on management topics. Today, we look at “Five Perspectives on the Leadership– Management Relationship: A Competency- Based Evaluation and Integration,” published by Daniel V. Simonet and Robert P. Tett, both of the University of Tulsa, in the Journal of Leadership & Organizational Studies on December 12, 2012:

How management and leadership are best conceptualized with respect to each other has been a frequent topic of debate. Five distinct perspectives are identified in the literature, including bipolar, unidimensional, bidimensional, hierarchical— management within leadership, and hierarchical—leadership within management. We assessed the viability of these perspectives by having Academy of Management and Society for Industrial/Organizational Psychology experts (N = 43) map a comprehensive set of 63 managerial and leadership competencies, as a “common language,” onto defined and undefined management and leadership dimensions. Results reveal interpretable patterns of uniqueness and overlap, suggesting a hybrid co-dimensional/bidimensional configuration. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed in light of the precedence of “what” over “how” in developing leadership and management theory.

Tett in the Journal of Leadership & Organizational Studies, and stay tuned for more related research ahead of #SIOP13.

What is Industrial-Organizational Psychology?

The 28th Annual Conference of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology takes place April 11-13, 2013 in Houston. As the society’s website states,

Industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology is the scientific study of the workplace. Rigor and methods of psychology are applied to issues of critical relevance to business, including talent management, coaching, assessment, selection, training, organizational development, performance, and work-life balance.

While we gear up to gain new insights from this year’s conference, which will focus on innovation, we’re pleased to bring you new research from top scholars in the field. Jason R. Pierce of Indiana University, and Herman Aguinis of Indiana University, who will be presenting at the conference, published “The Too-Much-of-a-Good-Thing Effect in Management” in the Journal of Management’s February 2013 issue. The abstract:

A growing body of empirical evidence in the management literature suggests that antecedent variables widely accepted as leading to desirable consequences actually lead to negative outcomes. These increasingly pervasive and often countertheoretical findings permeate levels of analysis (i.e., from micro to macro) and management subfields (e.g., organizational behavior, strategic management). Although seemingly unrelated, the authors contend that this body of empirical research can be accounted for by a meta-theoretical principle they call the too-much-of-a-good-thing effect (TMGT effect). The authors posit that, due to the TMGT effect, all seemingly monotonic positive relations reach context-specific inflection points after which the relations turn asymptotic and often negative, resulting in an overall pattern of curvilinearity. They illustrate how the TMGT effect provides a meta-theoretical explanation for a host of seemingly puzzling results in key areas of organizational behavior (e.g., leadership, personality), human resource management (e.g., job design, personnel selection), entrepreneurship (e.g., new venture planning, firm growth rate), and strategic management (e.g., diversification, organizational slack). Finally, the authors discuss implications of the TMGT effect for theory development, theory testing, and management practice.

SAGE Begins Publishing World Future Review

SAGE begins publishing World Future Review

Official Journal of the World Future Society

SAGE has been chosen by the World Future Society to publish its journal, the World Future Review (WFR), beginning in early 2013. The journal’s new home on the Web will be wfr.sagepub.com.

WFR aims to further the study of future trends and better societal alternatives for researchers and practitioners alike. Its mission is to help people to live a more sustainable lifestyle by promoting research that fairly evaluates the outcomes of existing policies in multiple fields, assesses techniques for studying future issues, and allows for the exchange of futures-relevant information among different cultures.

The articles published in WFR encapsulate the research of multiple disciplines from a futures perspective including sociology, political science, economics, management, and other social sciences.

“Our goal at WFR is to pair the quality of a peer-reviewed professional journal with an innovative spirit of inquiry that will encourage qualified contributors to offer forward-looking theories and interpretations,” stated WFR Executive Editor Tim Mack. “Because we view the future as inherently unknowable in detail, we believe that every option humanity faces deserves to be considered fairly and its merits evaluated with professional care and scholarly objectivity. No topic falls entirely outside our field, and no finding logically arrived at and clearly expressed will ever be rejected out of hand as too implausible or threatening to interest WFR readers.”

“Publishing research in the political science, economics, management, and social science disciplines, World Future Review is a great fit for SAGE and will add even more depth to our journals collection,” said Bob Howard, SAGE’s executive director of US journals. “Its emphasis on future policy and societal transformation adds a unique perspective to these disciplines and is an important outlet for research that investigates how social, economic and technological developments can shape the future.”

World Future Review is now accepting manuscripts from professionals across the globe. For more information, click here.

The World Future Society is a nonprofit educational and scientific organization in Bethesda, Maryland, U.S., founded in 1966. The Society investigates how social, economic and technological developments are shaping the future. It helps individuals, organizations, and communities observe, understand and respond to social change appropriately and investigates the benign effects of applying anticipatory thinking to society www.wfs.org.

This year’s WFS conference, WorldFuture 2013: Exploring the Next Horizon, will be held July 19-21, 2013 at the Hilton Chicago
in Chicago, Illinois.

The World Future Society’s meetings are unique, excitement-packed events. Since the First General Assembly in 1971, the Society has held a variety of small and large conferences that have brought together futurists from around the world to share ideas and vital information about the trends and events that will affect the world tomorrow.

Society meetings provide an opportunity for people from many different fields to examine significant issues and discuss common problems. Each meeting has a rich variety of sessions and speakers, allowing registrants to sample a true cross-section of futures thinking. Past Society conferences have focused on topics ranging from energy, communications, and the global economy to crisis management and conflict resolution, work and careers, and education.

WAM 2013 Call for Papers

CALL FOR PAPERS

WAM 2013 Conference
March 13 – March 16 Santa Fe, New Mexico

Theme: Narrow Streets, Open Minds (Constructive Conversations)

Program Chair: Bambi Douma, University of Montana

Santa Fe, New Mexico is a city rich in history, unique in its preservation of the past while embracing change and modernization. The city has faced many challenges and has responded by creating its own inclusive planning and management system. It is called “The City Different” for, as the official travel website states, “…rarely does a place speak to so many people on so many levels.” Western Academy of Management (WAM) has long been a leader in the management field of doing things differently. From the associated Journal of Management Inquiry, to the conference programs, to the relationships between its members, WAM has become the academic home for many who desire something a little out of the ordinary.

Building on the distinctive cultures of both Santa Fe and WAM, we invite you to take part in a conference based on constructive conversations. We are facing many challenges right now, as individuals, as a field, as universities, as states, as nations, and as a collective world. How do we manage these challenges, whether based on poor decisions or poor situations? What can we learn from others to assist us in our own turnarounds? Why should we engage in healthy discourse?

We invite people with differing perspectives to create space to talk to each other. We want to bring people who are examining the same topics, but from various lenses, together and facilitate a productive discussion via open dialogue about divergent views and questions

What better place?

WAM embraces breakthrough, cutting edge research that seeks to move the field forward. As such, we encourage you to submit research and conceptual papers, symposia, workshops, and panels that address the conference theme or other topics that will stretch your colleagues’ minds. In addition, our Doctoral/Junior Faculty Consortium will again attract notable mentors offering valuable insights and advice, our Fireside chat with Terry Mitchell and Gerry McNamara will invigorate and inspire you, and we’ll introduce new opportunities for sharing research proposals and conceptualizations, teaching insights, and career opportunities.

Submission Deadline: October 8, 2012 (11:59pm PDT)
Submit papers and volunteer to review at www.wamconf.org

A Future for the Family Business Field

Online registration is now available for the Family Firm Institute (FFI) 2012 Annual Conference, “Family Enterprise: The Field, The Families, The Future,” set for October 17-20, 2012 in Brussels, Belgium.

At FFI’s video gallery, you can watch educational sessions taped at last year’s conference, including discussions on generational changes in family enterprise. In “Persistent 5@25: Key topics over 25 years through practitioner and scholarly eyes,” FFI Fellow Jane Hilburt-Davis and Family Business Review Editor Pramodita Sharma talk about encouraging collaboration and conversation between researchers, educators and practitioners in the field.

The following are areas of focus for the 2012 FFI Global Conference:

• The Field: Moving beyond the “buckets” of law, finance, management and behavioral science that defined the field in the beginning, the conference programming will include approaches, research, and case studies that are unique to the profession of family enterprise advising today.

• The Families: The nuclear family appears to be in decline, and thus the extended family has taken on new meaning as cross-cultural research has created new family models. Entrepreneurial drive now goes far beyond the domain of the founder to include the family across generations. Implications of the changing family structure will be examined.

• The Future: An exploration of the social, business and interpersonal aspects of family enterprise and enterprising families from a futurist perspective.

The Family Firm Institute is the leading membership association worldwide for professionals serving the family enterprise field. It provides a global forum for practitioners, academics and others to acquire multidisciplinary knowledge while engaging in collaborative opportunities. Its flagship publication is Family Business Review (FBR), the first and oldest scholarly journal in the field.

Through its international journal, certificate programs, Global Education Network (GEN), and preeminent international conference, FFI upholds the highest standards in best practices. For more information, visit www.ffi.org.

Social Marketing and Healthy People

Did you know that social marketing objectives have been added to Healthy People 2020?

Healthy People, the program of national health promotion goals set by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, aims to improve the health of all Americans with 10-year national objectives. For the first time, the index now includes measures to increase social marketing in health promotion and disease prevention.

To support this historic achievement, the 22nd Annual Social Marketing Conference in Clearwater Beach, Florida, will include two plenary sessions on strategies for initiating instruction about social marketing, social entrepreneurship, and related social change at universities and improving existing educational endeavors in these institutions.

Included are two “collaboratories” devoted to academic interests, giving people working in and with universities a chance to discuss and expand upon the ideas presented during these plenary sessions.

Healthy People 2020 objectives directed at incorporating social marketing include:

• “Increase the proportion of schools of public health and accredited master of public health (MPH) programs that offer one or more courses in social marketing.

• Increase the proportion of schools of public health and accredited MPH programs that offer workforce development activities in social marketing for public health practitioners.” (Source: Healthy People 2020, US Department of Health and Human Services)

If you have ideas on how to realize these Healthy People 2020 objectives, we welcome your abstracts for short oral presentations or posters. We also invite you to join us for a productive and purposive conversation about the future of social marketing in academia.

For more information about this year’s conference, visit us on the web at: http://health.usf.edu/publichealth/csm/scc.htm
