Welcome to the 74 th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management
On behalf of the thousands of AOM members and staff who have worked diligently and effectively to organize the 2014 program, we welcome you to Philadelphia for the 74th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management!
With more than 18,000 members from over 110 nations, the Academy’s vision is to inspire and enable a better world
through our scholarship and teaching about management and organizations. Supporting this vision is our mission, which is to build a vibrant and supportive community of scholars by markedly expanding opportunities to connect and explore ideas. Our Annual Meeting provides a forum for us to:
connect with each other share our research experiences exchange teaching resources
discuss the implications of our work for practice create and renew friendships
develop our professional skills and contacts.
Our Theme for 2014, “The Power of Words,” encourages us to consider the effect of words – our own and others’
words -- on individuals, teams, organizations, nations, and even global systems. What and how words are communicated determine the results they effect. Leaders and those aspiring to become (or remain) leaders have therefore long understood the need to manage communication style as well as substance. Over time as new digital (Internet-based) technologies have become available, what and how people say things has grown more important and thus more challenging. This is because new digital technologies enable words (sometimes without the original
communicator’s awareness) to be ported, in an instant, to and from potentially broad audiences in unknown locations.Understanding the effect of words and their portability is therefore a critical task facing managers as well as management scholars.
The issues raised by our theme are of theoretical, empirical, and practical importance across the full range of Academy divisions, interest groups, and stakeholders in scholarly enterprise.
The Annual Meeting offers many opportunities to participate and learn during five full days of activities and events, divided into three parts:
•
Friday and Saturday: Professional Development Workshops offered by 34 divisions and interest groups, and special committees;
•
Sunday: All-Academy Theme Program presenting symposia and PDWs on theme-related topics;
•
Sunday: The second Teaching and Learning Conference (back by popular demand from its inaugural offering a year ago): TLC@AOM is an Academy-wide teaching conference in response to the growing teaching related-needs of AOM members around the globe.
•
Monday - Tuesday: The scholarly programs comprised of symposia and paper sessions.
We invite you to the following exciting events, which are free and open to all registrants:

The Annual Meeting celebrates the work of all who participate in it. The 2014 Call for Submissions elicited 6268 paper submissions, 370 unique symposium submissions, and 626 Professional Development Workshops proposals.
Our records indicate that 5900 volunteer reviewers provided the effort to evaluate these submissions. We thank all of you for helping us create the final program, which involves nearly 9500 individual participants.
We hope that you enjoy your time and experiences in Philadelphia, a city where the power of words was demonstrated on July 4, 1776, when the U.S. Declaration of Independence was signed. Today, many cultural traditions, culinary joys, museums, arts, scientific inquiries, and businesses thrive in Philadelphia. Thank you for all our valuable discussions about research, teaching, and practice during both the formally scheduled sessions and informal, spontaneous conversations. To enable discussions, this year’s Academy features more seating areas in the conference hotels and conference center. We look forward to connecting and learning from all of you in Philadelphia.

Our Theme for 2014, “The Power of Words,” encourages us to consider the effect of words – our own and others’ words --
on individuals, teams, organizations, nations, and even global systems. What and how words are communicated determine the results they effect. Leaders and those aspiring to become (or remain) leaders have therefore long understood the need to manage
communication style as well as substance. Over time as new digital (Internet-based) technologies have become available, what and how people say things has grown more important and thus more challenging. This is because new digital technologies enable words (sometimes without the original communicator’s awareness) to be ported, in an instant, to and from potentially broad audiences in unknown locations. Understanding the effect of words and their portability is therefore a critical task facing managers as well as management scholars. The All-Academy Theme-related PDWs and symposia-- at all levels of analysis—promise to heighten understanding about the many forms of words in organizations, the ways in which they facilitate or hinder the outcomes that various organizational stakeholders seek, and thus also, the actions that may help organizational stakeholders leverage the power in words to bring about positive changes!

Guanxi/Social Network and Impacts in Varieties of Organizational Forms, Program #16, is
scheduled at 8:00 am – 10:30 am at Room 102B.
This PDW highlights the latest research findings related to Guanxi/social network. Five teams will present their research insights obtained from direct observations and in-depth field studies.
The PDW attempts to synthesize Guanxi/social network in varieties of organizational forms and stimulate innovative theoretical development.
Another PDW on Gender Education in South Asia’s Afghanistan and Pakistan , Program #17, is scheduled at 8:00 am – 11:00 am at Room 203B. This session provides a forum for the participants to discuss education trends and management practices in these two South Asian countries. It covers various issues including education development strategy, gender inequality, empowerment of female entrepreneurs, emotional intelligence, and leadership. The session should be of particular interest to researchers of South Asian cultures and countries.
In the afternoon of August 1, there is another PDW on Latest Developments in Personal Values Research in the Chinese Context, Program #153, scheduled at 4:15 pm – 6:45 pm at Room 112B. The session assembles seven interesting papers related to the latest
development of research on personal values in China. These papers explore how personal values are related to major workplace issues such as leadership, moral decision-making, helping behavior, and voice. Through the interactions between the presenters and the audience, this PDW aims to advance our understanding of the importance of personal values in the Chinese workplace.
The program will close on August 2 with a PDW on Contemporary Issues on the Japanese Management: Changes and Challenges in the
Age of Globalization, Program #194, scheduled at 8:00 am – 10:00 am at Room 118B.

CONFLICT MANAGEMENT (CM)
New, different and exciting! Junior faculty are invited to our new look PDW, Finding Value in Academic Life: A PDW for Junior Faculty. This PDW, organized by Nate Pettit and chaired by Matt Cronin, was tailor-made to address the tensions that junior faculty experience as they strive to balance the competing demands of their first faculty jobs ….. demands that make it easy to forget the passion and vision that brought them to this career in the first place, and that is too easily lost in the routines of daily work lives.
This PDW encourages junior faculty to step back and take stock of what brings fulfillment in this job (and what does not), to learn about and draw from the experiences and career paths of an esteemed set of panelists, and to use this knowledge to take steps (and risks) toward a career that maximizes one’s personal and professional satisfaction. Starting at 8.30 am on Saturday, 2 August, let this 4-hour PDW help you recapture your vision and develop strategies to keep it alive!
Join us 9.45 am on Monday 4
thfor our first Showcase Symposium, Trust development and repair in organizations. Organized Emma Levine and Derek Harmon, this symposium solves important puzzles in existing trust research, points to promising directions for future study, and provides prescriptive advice for how to build and restore trust in organizations.
Trust is essential to organizations and interpersonal relationships. Developing and sustaining trust improves leadership
effectiveness, fosters cooperation, and reduces transaction costs. The four papers provide novel insights on the antecedents of trust. Jointly, they

investigate how individuals make trusting decisions when they have conflicting information about others’ trustworthiness, they uncover new dimensions that influence trust repair, and they explore how trust can be strengthened over time.
Take a break for lunch or coffee, and come back at 1.15 pm to hear two award winning papers in one session, About Time: The Dynamic Nature of Conflict. Back-to-back, you can hear about The Directness and Oppositional Intensity of Conflict Expression (Winner of the CM Division’s Best Theoretical or Empirical Paper Award) and about Conflict in the Kitchen: Temporal Diversity and Temporal Disagreements in Chefs Teams (Winner of the CM Division’s Best Theoretical or Empirical Paper Award). Be sure to also check in on our other award-winning papers, The Effects of Lying on the Relationship Between Voice and Self- Perceived Status (Winner of CM Division Best Student Paper Award, Monday 3.00 pm) and Daily experiences of justice: A within-person, dynamic, and event-based perspective (Winner of CM Division Best Paper Award - New Directions, Monday, 9.45 am).
CRITICAL MANAGEMENT STUDIES (CMS) This year the CMS Division has an engaging and provocative program of paper sessions, symposia and PDWs, with all of the Division’s activities held in the Pennsylvania Convention Center (PCC). Our annual events include two socials for old friends and new, especially anyone curious about the Division, that are likely to be lively and friendly as usual. On Saturday, please come along to the “Welcome and PDW Program So cial”, 6.30-8.00pm, sponsored by Durham University Business School, UK (#486) ; and on Monday we hope you can join us for our
“Main Program Social”, 6.30-8.30pm (#1402), sponsored by University of Birmingham, UK.
The program starts with a number of PDWs focused on the 2014 theme The Power of Words, such as “Power in Dialogue” (#95, Friday 11.45-1.15pm, PCC 203 A), “United We Speak”
(#204, Saturday 8.00-10.00am, PCC 111A), and
“The Linearity of Words and Oppressions of Linearity” (#282, Saturday 10.15-1145am, PCC 102A), all bringing together leading scholars from a variety of divisions such as CMS, IM, and
OMT. The Division also continues its support for emerging scholars through the annual
“Doctoral and New Scholar Consortium”, sponsored by University of Portsmouth, UK (#21, Friday 8.00 am, PCC 203 A).
Within the main program we are pleased to present the CMS keynote (#654, Sunday 2.30- 4.00pm, PCC 115a), which takes the form of a panel discussion involving distinguished critical scholars Marta Calas, Linda Smircich and Gibson Burrell. The panel will speak to the title
“Metamorphoses: Paradigms and Since” and will engage the audience in a ‘futurological conversation on the changing shape of
organizational theorizing’ that explores ‘the rise of the monstrous and the end of the taken-for- granted’. As well as being widely known for their contributions to paradigms debate, our speakers share a commitment to examining inequalities and asymmetries of power in organizations, issues which are at the core of the CMS Division remit.
We also encourage you to attend the Division Showcase Symposium “What’s a Corporate Elite To Do? Past, Present and Future of Executive Involvement in Public Affairs”
(#1093, Monday 11.30-1.00pm, PCC 124). This timely event will be moderated by Academy President Elect Paul Adler, who convenes a panel (Richard Marens, Nien-he Shieh, and Mark Mizruchi) to examine the counter-intuitive arguments presented in Mark’s recent book The Fracturing of the American Corporate Elite.
Mark’s argument that corporate leaders can and should play a more prominent role in public life is controversial at any moment in time, but is especially so now when public trust in is so low and competence so questionable. This
groundbreaking book will frame the debate for some time to come. Those interested in developing critical perspectives on ethics, leadership, and organizations in society will find much of interest in the issues raised.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION THEME COMMITTEE (D&ITC)
We have several interesting sessions this year that address inclusion in the AOM in various
Academy Program Highlights
Section A 11
ways. Here are three general sessions to consider:
Diversity and Inclusion in the Academy: A Town Hall Meeting and Connections Cafe
Saturday, August 1, 2:00-4:00pm and 4:15- 5:45pm, Loews Philadelphia Hotel
Commonwealth B
Please join us as we build on past years' efforts to make the AOM more welcoming and inclusive to its members. At the highly interactive Town Hall session, the D&ITC leadership will share progress since last year's Town Hall. Most of the session will focus on participant sharing of inclusion experiences in the Academy, ideas about how to make AOM more inclusive, and best practices at AOM for diversity and
inclusion. Your input will allow us to work toward developing guidelines and tools for diversity and inclusion practices in AOM. Following the Town Hall, you are invited to connect with other members at our Connections Café social mixer.
The Language of Inclusion (and Exclusion) at the AOM: An Interactive Workshop on the Power of Words
Sunday, August 2, 11:15am–2:15pm,
Pennsylvania Convention Center Room 120 B This session builds on the mission of AOM’s Diversity and Inclusion Theme Committee to provide learning and outreach opportunities across the Academy that foster a more diverse and inclusive Academy in which all members are involved in, and contribute to, its growth and success. In line with the conference theme, “The Power of Words,” the goal o f this session is to create an interactive dialogue to foster understanding of the ways in which language and its usage can create inclusion or exclusion.
The structure of the session brings together members of the DITC and three additional panelists to share personal experiences and perspectives regarding the power of language to create experiences of inclusion or exclusion in the Academy of Management. The panelists bring content expertise to the session as well as their experiences in fostering inclusion or mitigating exclusion. Learning during the highly interactive workshop will be structured on three levels. At the individual level, participants will consider the connections between language and
identity and how language in relation to self can support or detract from inclusion. At the
interpersonal level, the focus will be on the role of words and language in processes of inclusion and exclusion premised on labeling, classifying, and co-cultural exchanges (communication between non-dominant and dominant groups).
Finally, at the organizational level, the discussion will center on how words and language become normative or institutionalized as well as on the challenges of displacing these taken-for-granted practices and the possibilities for fostering inclusion.
Late Night at the Academy
Sunday, August 2, 10:00-11:30pm, Loews Philadelphia Hotel Regency Ballroom A Join us live at studio WAOM with host Dr. Q (Quinetta Roberson) as we celebrate brotherly (and sisterly) love. This fun, interactive social event will engage the audience with the invited guests (academicians, practitioners, poets and musicians) as we explore the power of words, the Phily lexicon, music, comedy, and games.
There will also be a special tribute to Nelson Mandela for his contributions to shaping the thinking relative to diversity and inclusion.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP (ENT)
This year’s program theme of “ The Power of Words” has generated a great variety of high quality PDWs, Symposia and Papers sessions that have a range of interest not only for the Entrepreneurship Division members, but for whoever is interested in the area of
entrepreneurship. Come join ENT for inspiring conference sessions. We would like to highlight more particularly:

This PDW advocates a clinical approach in general and a focus on psychological disorders as a means of developing entrepreneurship theory more specifically. With very few exceptions, psychological research in
entrepreneurship has focused on the positives of entrepreneurs, irrespectively of theories applied, concepts used and phenomena studied.
Theorizing and findings related to the motivation, action, and success of entrepreneurs tend to overlap with theorizing and findings related to the motivation, action and success of people in other walks of life. In this sense,
entrepreneurship provides a context for general psychological theory rather than an arena for developing unique entrepreneurial psychological theory. An alternative route for developing psychological theory unique to entrepreneurship may be to take a clinical approach. Although a dominant force in the field of psychology, clinical approaches and the study of mental disorder are virtually absent in entrepreneurship research. To the extent that such research identifies
mechanisms that are common in prior research, it will call into question the validity of how previously identified personal factors influence entrepreneurial outcomes (e.g., good health, positive psychological attributes).

Insights from social ontology - a recent set of advances in philosophy that focus on social reality and the emergence and deep structures of human social institutions - has shown great promise as a potential theoretical substructure for new theory development in entrepreneurship.
This workshop offers an introduction to and structured discussion about social ontology with the individuals who are at the “sharp end” of this work, and framed by the editors of the journals that shape, support, and promote theory development in the field of entrepreneurship. We accomplish our objective in three “acts” - a primer on social ontology; presenting exemplary research in entrepreneurship employing insights from social ontology; a dialogue about the implications of an entrepreneurship pedagogy infused with social ontology; and a semi- structured question-and-answer session exploring the implications for teaching and practice

GENDER AND DIVERSITY IN ORGANIZATIONS (GDO)
The GDO Division has an exciting pre- conference and scholarly program planned again this year! We are offering a diverse array of pre-conference workshops, some of which are developmental in focus (e.g., publishing
workshop, consortia), and others which will provide opportunities for us to gather together to discuss important, emerging issues related to researching, teaching, and practicing diversity in organizations (e.g., how to engage in safe dialogues about stereotypes in the classroom, managing motherhood as an academic, addressing gender issues in business schools, translating scholarship to practice, and
recognizing the intersectionality of diversity). Our scholarly program also promises to be great - we’re happy to be able to offer paper sessions

and symposia that cover a wide range of levels of analysis, methodologies, geographies, and dimensions of diversity.
Please be sure to check out our plenary session on Monday afternoon (3-4:30, Loews Hotel, Regency Ballroom B) when we will engage with leading corporate diversity officers about issues related to the All-Academy theme of “the power of words” within the practice of diversity. This session will be followed by the GDO Business Meeting (6-7pm, Lowes Hotel, Lescaze Room) and Social Hour (7-9pm, Loews Hotel, Howe Room). In addition to these events, we look forward to seeing you at the GDO Pre- conference Social Hour on Friday (6-7:30pm, Loews Hotel, Parlor1) and the GDO Welcome Breakfast on Monday (8-9am, Loews Hotel, Penn).
HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT (HCM) AOM members engaged in research in health care settings are encouraged to attend the sessions sponsored by the Healthcare
Management division. On Friday and Saturday, the HCM PDW will host a variety of offerings for both emerging and established scholars, including two we highlight here:
“Theory Building for Healthcare
Management Research” (Saturday, Aug 2 2014 9:45AM - 11:45AM at
Pennsylvania Convention Center in Room 110 A,B) will focus on developing and testing theories. This PDW aims to enable participants to hone their skills in applying and critiquing organizational theories to generate new insights about the management and performance of organizations operating in the
healthcare sector. A second goal of the PDW is to promote the stronger use of theory in empirical studies. This PDW will employ a case-based approach moderated by an expert panel to generate research questions and hypotheses derived from the
perspectives of institutional theory, transaction cost economics, and high reliability organizing to examine the development and performance of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), an emerging organizational form in the U.S.
“Anatomy of an Article” (Saturday, Aug 2 2014 5:15PM - 7:15PM at Pennsylvania Convention Center in Room 203 A), focused on turning your research results into publications, is back after a
standing-room only crowd last year.
This session will provide a hands-on tour of the components of a publishable paper with the explicit intention of helping developing scholars become better authors of peer-reviewed articles.
Successful authors develop skills in both the art and the science of publishing.
The art involves creatively framing a manuscript around an important topic, synthesizing the previous literature in a succinct and meaningful way, and communicating the academic and practical implications of the research.
The science of publishing involves organizing the manuscript, presenting a logical flow of ideas, and providing a format expected by reviewers and editor in the field. This workshop will help participants, especially doctoral students and others interested in improving their publishing output, feel more confident about how to approach the writing of a paper for publication in a peer- reviewed journal.
Papers that have exceeded these criteria are featured in our Scholarly Program. In particular, the winner of the HCM Division’s Best Paper Award will be showcased on Monday:
“ High-Performance Work Practices in Healthcare Organizations” (Monday, Aug 4 2014 9:45AM - 11:15AM at Pennsylvania Convention Center in Room 111 A) features the winner of our Division’s Best Paper Award along with two other papers that have been designated as Best Papers for this

annual meeting. The four papers in this session consider issues such as engagement, empowerment, and organizational culture, and provide perspectives from both US and international settings.
HUMAN RESOURCES (HR)
The HR Division has put together an innovative selection of PDWs, a high quality set of Paper Sessions and Symposiums, and opportunities for networking. Here are three sessions/events that represent what we have to offer this year.
PDW: Experiential HR - A Potluck for Reviving and Expanding your Teaching Repertoire Time: Saturday, August 3, 3:45-6:15pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Rooms 407,408,409.
This PDW, chaired by Suzanne C. de Janasz and Caren Goldberg, provides those who teach HR an opportunity to expand their repertoire of exercises and pedagogies. Using a “potluck” format, attendees will be able to choose among a variety of HR topics and learn about successful experiential exercises.
Participants will be able to select from among 12 table sessions led by faculty from around the world, in which presenters will provide a brief introduction to the exercise, run participants through some of the exercise, and discuss implications and modifications for different audiences and/or classroom settings.
Paper Session: Mediating Mechanisms in Strategic HRM Research
Time: Tuesday, August 5, 11:30am-1:00pm, Philadelphia Marriot Downtown, Grand Ballroom Salon I.
This session, chaired by Kaifeng Jiang, features four papers that examine the
“black box” relating HR Practices to Firm Performance. The first paper (Demortier, Delobbe, & El Akremi) found support for a path model linking skill-enhancing HR practices to business unit performance
through employees’ ability and collective human capital in a sample of 46
business units. The second paper (Cogin & Boedker) found support for skills flexibility, human capital, behavior flexibility, and social capital as
mediators explaining the relationship between high commitment HR practices and firm performance in a study of 77 Australian firms. The third paper (Lin, Sanders, Sun, Shipton, & Mooi), using a sample of 355 Chinese firms, found that customer-linking capabilities and customer satisfaction played a
mediating role linking employee-oriented HR practices and firm performance. The final paper (Oh & Kim) examined the relationship between personality-based homogeneity within organizations and organizational-level job satisfaction and firm performance in a sample of 71 Korean firms. These four papers shed light on how and when a variety of HR practices relate to firm performance.
HR Division Welcome Breakfast and Awards Presentation
Time: Monday, August 4, 7:30-9:30am, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Salon F

INTERNATIONAL THEME COMMITTEE (ITC) The International Theme Committee (ITC) has planned another innovative and thought-
provoking program for the upcoming 2014 AOM conference in Philadelphia. The ITC has put together a series of outstanding workshops that span teaching, research, and practice. Don’t miss these sessions!!
We would like to highlight in particular:
PDW: Fostering International Teaching and Research Collaborations (# 388)
Time: Saturday, Aug 2 2014 2:00PM - 6:00PM Location: Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown Hotel in Liberty Ballroom A
Organizer: Charles Wankel; St. John's U., Organizer: Olivia del Roble Hernández-Pozas;
Tec De Monterrey.
This session is designed as a forum for sharing experiences and best practices of international collaborations in teaching and research as well as a venue to share prospective projects with a mind to acquiring collaborators from other nations. International collaboration has a storied history. The Silk Road nations developed collaborations several centuries BCE. The Greek, Roman, Persian, and Egyptian empires all fostered the sharing of learning. Some ancient centers, such as Timbuktu, have survived into our time. Some nations have rich traditions of international collaboration and have many strong centers of research. Other
countries might have one institution that is the center of international collaboration or in some cases might have several competing centers that dissipate the resources available for such endeavors. By bringing together scholars from nations that have been underrepresented in cross-country partnerships with those from well- funded and experienced institutions that our discipline of management will be enhanced. It is our hope that colleagues who have developed strong teaching exchanges and experiences will explain them to others here. Certainly, the current social technologies support virtual team meetings of students from all over the world.
How international collaborations reflect and differ from domestic ones will be also a topic.
The relevancy of the literature on research and teaching collaborations generally for
international partnering will be importantly addressed. Though the session will be focused on collaborations among academicians and their students, it is hoped that ideas for having international collaborations involving NGOs,

Section A 17
government institutions, and businesses will be also suggested.
PDW: Developing an alternative Paradigm:
Global Perspectives on Humanistic Management. (#217)
Time: Saturday, Aug 2 2014 8:00AM - 10:00AM Location: Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown Hotel in Salon 4
Organizer: Michael Andreas Pirson; Fordham U.
The role of social embeddedness and the importance of the future do play a marginal role.
In this PDW we wish to bring together global thought leaders that have worked on developing an alternative paradigm for management:
humanistic management. In a first part, we will present the universal foundations of the humanistic paradigm and then highlight local and regional permutations of its theorizing and practice. In a second part of the workshop we will discuss the consequences of such an alternative paradigm on management scholarship, management education and management practice. Drawing on the
Humanistic Management Network, we will have global representatives from Africa, Asia, North and South America, as well as Europe lead round table discussions leading to next steps and potential collaborations.
MANAGEMENT EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT (MED)
If you can only make three MED activities consider: a PDW where we share our syllabi and learn from each other how to make them
effective and impactful communication tools for students; our Keynote speaker David Kolb’s talk about experiential learning; and a paper session on how our traits and behaviors as educators influence the behaviors, satisfaction and performance of our students. Come along also to our Social on Monday at 6.30 pm in Loews Regency Ballroom B and join as a community, get to know new members, reacquaint with old colleagues and bring doctoral students into the engine of academia: the life long joy of being an educator – ever learning, never fully learnt!
BYOS (Bring Your Own Syllabus): Sharing the Words We Use to Help Communicate What We Want (PDW Session # 68)
Scheduled: Friday 10am Loews Philadelphia Hotel: Congress Room C
At the BYOS PDW there will be the opportunity to share our syllabi and learn as a community approaches to designing and using our syllabi in practice. This session aims to help your syllabi become tools to create a more impactful and effective classroom experience, rather than documents that are routinely misread, misconstrued or even ignored.
MED Division Plenary
David Kolb: Becoming an Experiential Management Educator
Scheduled: Monday 11.30am Loews: Regency Ballroom A
Experiential Learning has been acknowledged by educators, researchers and practicing managers alike as a very effective approach to creating transformative and sustained learning experiences. In the past three decades, thousands of management professors and training professionals incorporated in their teachings David Kolb’s cyclical model of Experiential Learning, with its four elements of Concrete Experience, Reflective Observation, Abstract Conceptualization, and Active Experimentation. David’s books and articles have been applied by thousands of teachers and cited very frequently (Kolb’s 1984 book alone generated nearly 25,000 citations). Join David Kolb, who will share the insights of his life-long work on applying experiential learning in higher education.
Instructor Traits & Behaviors: Student Behaviors and Evaluation (#1342 paper session)
Scheduled: Monday 4.45, Loews, Parlor 1 Best Paper in Management Education Award Winner is here!
This paper session explores how the traits, behaviors and procedural justice approaches of us as instructors have an impact on the
satisfaction, behaviors and educational outcomes of our students. These include a
Academy Program Highlights
Section A 18
survey of over 2700 UK students, from which we gain insights into how different instructor
leadership approaches yield different learning outcomes. We learn how instructor’s attitudes and commitment to teaching are associated with student satisfaction. Two of the papers in this session explore how procedural justice in grading plays a key role in the relationship between student evaluations and student behaviors: strong emotional reactions by students are associated with combinations of distributive, procedural and interactional injustices.
