IWP Conference 2012 – Call for papers

The Institute of Work Psychology, University of Sheffield, is holding its biennial International Conference in Sheffield, UK, titled 'Work, Wellbeing and Performance: Thriving in times of uncertainty', on the 26th-28th June 2012.

The conference will feature three internationally recognised keynote speakers - Professor Talya Bauer, School of Business Administration, Portland State University; Professor Gilad Chen, Robert H. Smith School of Business, The University of Maryland; and Professor Sharon Parker, UWA Business School, The University of Western Australia.

A full scholarly programme will involve paper presentations and interactive sessions. A series of pre-conference workshops, training courses in statistical methods and a Postgraduate and Early Career Scholar event are also scheduled.

We invite high quality submissions in all areas of work, organizational, industrial, occupational and vocational psychology and in the related fields of organizational behavior and human resource management. Submissions to the scholarly programme can be for paper presentations, poster presentations, symposia, round tables, and work-in-progress presentations of ongoing projects. We particularly encourage symposium submissions.

The conference theme, Thriving in times of uncertainty, encourages us to consider what facilitates high performance and well-being in challenging times. We encourage submissions that focus on the positive contribution that occupational/I-O psychology and related areas such as OB and HRM can make in a post-recovery climate.
The deadline for submissions is Friday 18th November 2011.

Further details on the conference and submission guidelines can be found on our website at http://iwpconference.org/
