  • 1.  Positive Relationships at Work PDW

    Dear GDO Division Members:

    We'd like to invite you to attend our PDW at this year's AOM Meeting:

    "The Past, Present, and Future Investigation of Positive Relationships at Work"
    Saturday, August 4, 2012, 4:15‐7:15 PM; Boston Park Plaza, Whittier Room

    Description:
    The Past, Present, and Future Investigation of Positive Relationships at Work PDW brings a Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS) lens to the study of workplace relationships, thereby focusing attention on reoccurring connections between people that a) take place within the context of work and careers and b) are experienced as mutually beneficial (Ragins & Dutton, 2007). The PDW is supported by the newly revitalized Positive Relationships at Work Microcommunity (an offshoot of the broader POS community). The main goals of the three-hour PDW are to nurture relationships among scholars interested in positive relationships, introduce this rich area to a broader community of scholars, and to generate energy and ideas for further research. The PDW will begin with an introduction to the Positive Relationships at Work Microcommunity. This will be followed by a panel discussion featuring speakers who will give an overview of the history of research in this domain as well as the broad areas of scholarship related to positive relationships. The second half of the PDW will be dynamic and interactive, with small group discussions about subtopics of interest to the attendees. To close the session, the small groups will report back to the plenary, sharing key take-a-ways that will be captured and distributed post-PDW.

    Panelists:
    Kim Cameron, University of Michigan
    Emily Heaphy, Boston University
    Belle Rose Ragins, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

    Advanced registration is required and space is very limited!  If you are interested, please contact Stephanie at crearys@bc.edu for the approval code.

    Best,
    Stephanie Creary, David Bright, Delia Mannen, Elana Feldman, Kerry Gibson, and Rajashi Ghosh

    The Past, Present, and Future Investigation of Positive Relationships at Work PDW brings a Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS) lens to the study of workplace relationships, thereby focusing attention on reoccurring connections between people that a) take place within the context of work and careers and b) are experienced as mutually beneficial (Ragins & Dutton, 2007). The PDW is supported by the Positive Relationships at Work Microcommunity (visit our website: http://smgworld.bu.edu/prw/ )an offshoot of the broader POS community). This PDW was first held during the 2012 AOM Meeting in Boston, MA.  It drew more than 70 attendees and elicited very positive feedback from participants.   The primary goals of the three-hour PDW are to nurture relationships among scholars interested in positive relationships, introduce this rich area to a broader community of scholars, and to generate energy and ideas for further research. The PDW will begin with an introduction to the Positive Relationships at Work Microcommunity.  This will be followed by a panel discussion featuring speakers who will give an overview of the history of research in this domain as well as several areas of scholarship related to positive relationships. The second half of the PDW will be dynamic and interactive, with small group discussions about subtopics of interest to the attendees. To close the session, the small groups will report back to the plenary, sharing key take-a-ways that will be captured and distributed post-PDW.
