Who should attend?
Collaboration lies at the heart of all successful academic careers. This Doctoral Colloquium (as part of the Academy of Management HR Division International Conference) is designed for doctoral students in the field of HRM looking to connect with and learn from field experts and fellow students to help advance their career. We hope the conference will run in person but hybrid options for participation online will also be offered as needed.
How do I apply to attend?
The Doctoral Colloquium program includes the opportunity for you to present your research in roundtables for commentary and feedback. We, therefore, ask that you submit an extended abstract that outlines your research that will be shared with others in your roundtable.
Extended abstracts (not full papers) should be 750-1,000 words (in English) and formatted as per Academy of Management Journal submission style. They should include:
- the aims and intended contributions of your research;
- an outline description of the theoretical framework and concepts adopted;
- the research design and approach to data analysis (where applicable);
- the key findings, along with their theoretical and practical significance (only if your research is this far advanced - don't worry if you haven't started to collect or analyze data yet).
Please submit in Word (.doc or .docx) or PDF format to the workshop organizers (see final page for details: denise@cmu.edu; euf3@psu.edu; cara.jonker@nwu.ac.za; hewett@rsm.nl).
