  • OB Division “Welcome-a-Member” Program [Deadline Friday, June 13th]

    The Making Connections Committee (on behalf of the OB Division) is offering the Welcome-a-Member program ahead of this year’s annual meeting. This program is meant to help new members navigate the annual meeting and to provide them with somebody to connect with while there. New members will be matched with an existing member and will have the opportunity to meet with them ahead of AOM to ask questions and receive guidance on navigating the conference.

     

    If you are new to the OB division or this is your first time attending AOM, we encourage you to sign up as a new member/menteehttps://tinyurl.com/OBnewmember2025   

     

    Anybody who has been to the annual meeting at least once has all the experience needed to be a mentor. If you are interested in supporting this program, please sign up as a volunteer/mentorhttps://tinyurl.com/OBvolunteer2025

  • Our 3-Year Strategic Plan is Live – Let’s Make It Happen!

    Dear Colleagues,  

    We’re excited to share that the OB Division’s 3-Year Strategic Plan (2025–2028) has been finalized and approved by AOM. This plan reflects months of collaboration with the Executive Committee, input from members like you, and guidance from AOM’s feedback. Your role in bringing this vision to life is critical—so let’s dive in!  

    What’s the Plan About?  

    Our goals focus on three pillars:  

    1. Rigor: Strengthen research standards through improved reviewer training, streamlined submission templates, and partnerships with global associations (e.g., EGOS, IACMR); add more representatives-at-large for on-demand professional development resources and year-round programming.  

    2. Relevance: Expand teaching resources (e.g., a centralized repository of syllabi, case studies), advocate for practice-focused research translation (via outlets like The Conversation), and bridge the annual meeting with year-round virtual programming.  

    3. Relationships: Continue to invest in helping the OB Division serve our members outside North America, launch a virtual mentorship program, and decentralize leadership by funding member-led initiatives (e.g., micro-communities).  

    AOM’s Key Feedback  

    - Clarity & Focus: Reduce overlapping initiatives and prioritize 3–5 high-impact goals annually.  

    - Accountability: Establish timelines, KPIs (e.g., % of members attending virtual events), and transparent progress updates.  

    - Continuity: Formalize onboarding materials for new committee members to ensure leadership transitions don’t stall progress.  

    How You Can Help  

    1. Join the Action: Volunteer for committees (e.g., Making Connections Committee, Global Committee). Apply here!

    2. Share Ideas: Use our new submission portal to pitch member-driven events (e.g., webinars, workshops).  

    3. Shape Our Future: Nominate a colleague (or yourself!) to run for a new Representative-at-Large role to co-lead year-round programming.

    Your voice matters. Let’s build a future where rigorous scholarship meets real-world impact—and where every member feels connected, supported, and inspired.  

    Warmly,

    Bradley L. Kirkman

    Chair, Organizational Behavior Division

  • OB Division Travel Awards [Deadline May 14th, 9 PM EDT]

    The OB Division is participating in the 2025 Annual Meeting Travel Award program.

Accordingly, awards primarily will go to students and/or underrepresented junior faculty with substantial need. Funds will be distributed directly to recipients and can be used to offset travel or registration costs.
    Applications will be accepted until May 14, 9:00 PM EDT.

  • Call for Proposals: OB Division Off Cycle Events

    The Organizational Behavior (OB) Division is very pleased to announce a new initiative involving off-cycle events that can benefit our membership. This initiative advances several goals outlined in our strategic plan for engaging and serving our diverse and global community. Specifically, we aim to expand opportunities for member-driven programming, support shorter-format events that are accessible across regions and career stages, and increase the number of events beyond the Annual Meeting, offering more chances to learn, share research, and build meaningful connections throughout the year.

    We specifically solicit proposals from OB Division members for off-cycle events (i.e., year-round virtual and/or in-person events open to OB Division members outside the annual Academy of Management Meeting). We welcome and look forward to considering thoughtful proposals for such events from any OB Division member on an ongoing basis (i.e., there are no specific deadlines for proposals). The OB Division Executive Committee will evaluate the proposals as they are received.

    Please submit the proposals via this form. 

    Cordially, 

    Bradley Kirkman (OB Division Chair)

    Gilad Chen (OB Division Chair-Elect)
