The HR Division’s Scholarly Achievement Award will be presented to the author(s) of the most significant article in human resource management published in recognized journals and research annuals that are generally available to Division members. Publications may be theoretical, qualitative, or quantitative. Nominated papers must have a publication year of the calendar year prior to the award year and have been assigned volume and issue numbers; online-first publications are not accepted. Award recipients need not belong to the Academy or to the HR Division. The award winner will be announced at the Academy meeting during the HR Division Awards Ceremony and receive a plaque and a $2,000 honorarium.

In support of the HR Division's goal of increasing member involvement and its international reach, we strongly encourage nominations that reflect the rich diversity, backgrounds, and perspectives of our membership.

Award selection will be completed by a committee formed and chaired by someone selected by the Awards Committee (e.g., prior award winner).

Criteria:

Selection for the award will be based on the extent to which the article has advanced scholarship in HRM based on the following:

  1. The significance and importance of the problem to human resource management.
  2. The extent to which the design, findings, and/or orientation advances research and/or theory.
  3. The likelihood that the paper will be widely cited in future published work.

Nominations should adhere to the following procedures:

  1. Only members of the HR Division of the Academy of Management may nominate a paper for the award. Please double check that your nominee is a member of the HR Division. Authors of the paper need not be members of the HR Division.
  2. Nominated articles can be peer-nominated or nominated by the Committee provided the nominated article meets the eligibility criteria.
  3. Self-nominations are encouraged.
