MOC Distinguished Scholar Award
The MOC Distinguished Scholar Award, established in 2002, recognizes senior scholars in our field who have made exceptional contributions to understanding individual, relational, and collective cognition in organizational contexts throughout their careers. To be eligible for the award, an individual must first be a truly distinguished scholar. The individual must have conducted research that has had a significant influence in the field by publishing high-impact articles in the very best journals. Second, recipients must have contributed to our field through service by holding a leadership position with the MOC division or the Academy, by serving as an action/associate editor of leading journals, and/or been an exceptional mentor for doctoral students.
Nominations for the Distinguished Scholar Award are accepted from all MOC division members. To nominate a scholar for this award, please send a letter of nomination with an explanation of why you are nominating the individual for the award to MOC Division Chair.
