Dear AOM conference attendees,
Have you ever wondered why, despite a century of research, the mysteries of work motivation still manage to surprise us (and occasionally leave us scratching our heads)? If so, you're not alone-nor are you without hope! We invite you to join us for an engaging Professional Development Workshop on Shaping Work and Organizations by Accelerating Motivation Research (#20084).
What to Expect
-
Framework for Inspiration
We'll kick off with a concise presentation of a guiding framework-think of it as your motivational map, without the cryptic X marking the spot.
-
Rotating Brainstorm Rounds
Grab your thinking caps and settle in for two lively rounds of discussion. Six themed tables will ensure you find your intellectual niche (and perhaps a fellow enthusiast for caffeine-fuelled debates!) on:
-
Individual Differences
-
HR Practices
-
Macro- and Multilevel Considerations
-
Technological Design & Implementation
-
Novel Work Arrangements
-
Unintended Motivational Side Effects
-
Action Plan Forge
Finally, we'll channel our collective genius into concrete action plans-so that brilliant ideas don't simply evaporate like unsupervised afternoon snacks.
Why Attend?
-
Collaborative Synergy: Exchange ideas with leading researchers and forward-thinking practitioners and forge new collaborations.
-
Practical Impact: Shape interventions that truly move the motivational needle.
-
Inspiring: Enjoy a workshop that's stimulating and energizing.
Whether your expertise lies in personality psychology, HR systems, digital or organizational design, this workshop is for you. Let's put our heads together, spark new collaborations, and pave the way for the next generation of motivation research and interventions.
