Professional Development Workshop (sponsored by the Research Methods
Division)
The Case Against Null Hypothesis Significance Testing: Flaws, Alternatives,
and Action Plans
Academy of Management Meeting in Philadelphia, PA
Saturday, Aug 4 2007 8:00 - 9:50 AM
Philadelphia Marriott in Grand Ballroom B
Organizers:
William H. Starbuck; University of Oregon
Andreas Schwab; Louisiana State University
Ingo Holzinger; York University
Presenters:
William H. Starbuck; University of Oregon
Eric Abrahamson; Columbia University
Jose M. Cortina; George Mason University
The purpose of this workshop is to increase awareness among management
researchers of the severe limitations of Null Hypothesis Significance
Testing (NHST) and to introduce alternative approaches based on effect size
measures and confidence intervals.
NHST has been criticized by methodologists on various grounds (Cohen, 1994;
Cortina & Folger, 1998; Schmidt, 1996; Starbuck, 2006; Thompson, 1996).
Their criticism suggests that the extensive use of NHST in quantitative
management research has led to the accumulation of deceptive findings in the
management literature. In a field that aspires to provide useful advice to
managers, researchers need to focus on practically important effects that
are robust across a wide variety of settings. To identify practically
meaningful findings, methodologists have recommended the reporting of effect
sizes and confidence intervals as an alternative to NHST. Recently,
approaches for estimating confidence intervals for effect size measures have
also been introduced (Cummings & Finch, 2001; Kline, 2004). The application
of alternatives to NHST by management researchers, however, has been limited
by both a lack of sensitivity regarding the inherent problems of NHST and a
limited familiarity with alternative approaches. Consequently, our proposed
two-hour workshop addresses these issues in the following three modules:
. Critique of NHST (2 speakers)
. Alternatives to NHST (1 speakers)
. Round-table discussion for hands-on advice
No pre-registration required to attend the session.

Park Maintenance Volunteering Project
Off-site Volunteering
Limited availability (20 volunteers), please RSVP (
elliot_bendoly@bus.emory.edu ), FCFS. Fisher Park is a 26 acre park in a
densely populated residential area. The heirs of Joseph Wharton bequeathed
this tract of forest land, which is bisected by a stream and bounded by
Spenser, Fifth Streets and Champlost Avenues. Wharton's heirs only provision
was that the property be maintained for public park purposes. The park is
located at 5th & Spencer Streets. Activities will involve planting, pruning
and weeding, litter control, trail building and upkeep and invasive plant
removal. Dress for outdoor work & warm weather. Take precautions against the
heat.
Please RSVP to
elliot_bendoly@bus.emory.edu by July to ensure a place on
the clean-up team.
Project Directions from SEPTA : BY SUBWAY Take the Orange Broad Street Line
-local or express- subway NORTH to Fernrock Transportation Center, which is
the last stop. Volunteers can either take the 57 or the 70 bus to 7th and
Godfrey, or walk from the train station to the park. It is about a 15-minute
walk around, or a five minute bus ride, and then a five minute walk from the
bus to the park. Be sure to request a stop for 7th St. There is no
cut-through because of train tracks, so if you opt to walk, you will need to
go north on 10th St., turn right on Godfrey, and turn right on 6th St. You
will be able to see the park at the end of the street clearly from there. BY
BUS Route 47 (goes along 5th St.- stops at most corners) - get off at 5th
and Spencer.

Dear Colleagues,
I apologize for any cross-listing of my request. I am part of a PDW this
August at the Academy of Management concerning study abroad trips. In the
past, these trips were more prevalent in the liberal arts or sciences. We
would like to find those who have conducted these trips and learn about
their experiences. The responses will be compiled and presented at the PDW
Sunday morning. (I will be sending out an invitation to the PDW with exact
times and rooms in May.) Below is the link to the survey on the Survey
Monkey site. If the link does not work when you click on it, please copy and
paste it in your browser's address section.
I really do appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey. If you
do not plan to attend the conference, please send me an email at
dfrancis2@yahoo.com and I will send you the results when they are available.
Please note that non-U.S. respondents are encouraged. It will be interesting
to see the differences in administration and content of these trips.
Many thanks,
Debbie
