    CALL FOR TRACK PROPOSALS IN ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR


    EURAM 2012 ROTTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS


    We are kindly inviting you to submit your track proposals to the new
    Organizational Behavior SIG, EURAM’12, Rotterdam.

    Aims and Scope

    The Organizational Behavior Special Interest Group aims at promoting
    research and networking interests in the individual and group behavior in
    the organizational context by providing a wide-ranging, engaged and
    internationally-focused forum to discuss and develop research and practice
    in the field. Conferences develop around a variety of papers on both well-
    established topics and in different new streams of research.

    Themes

    Organizational behavior deals with the study of individual and group
    behavior in the organizational context. Research on organizational
    behavior addresses issues facing today´s organizations such as immigration
    and increasing workforce diversity, technological innovation, teamwork,
    the use of flexible work arrangements, and leadership in flatter
    organizational structures. The purpose of this Strategic Interest Group is
    to develop an ongoing and constructive dialogue among organizational
    behavior scholars to conduct research that is relevant for management
    theory and practice in the contemporary world.

    The following are some of the most relevant titles in organizational
    behavior:

    Shared and distributed leadership
    Followership and authentic leadership
    Power, influence tactics and political skills
    Work motivation and organizational justice
    Trust and collaborative behavior
    Individual and group decision-making
    Surface and deep-level diversity in groups
