Reminder - 2014 CAR Division Call for Submissions
We are welcoming submissions for the 74th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management, which will be held from August 1-5, 2014, in Philadelphia, PA, USA.
CAR Division has been playing an important role in helping people to achieve better work experiences, by fostering research, knowledge, teaching and discussion of all the related topics about career.
We are expecting papers and symposia addressed to persons' work experiences over time and the relationship between careers, organizations and society. Major topics include: mentoring; individual career development; career management strategies; career planning; career outcomes; career success; relationships between human resource systems and careers; work, family and personal aspects; diversity effects on careers; influence of culture upon career forms and career management; and effects of demographic, technological and social changes on work.
Although submissions may reflect any of the above topics, we welcome any conceptual and empirical papers and symposia that fit within the careers domain and extend our understanding of careers. We particularly encourage contributions that embrace and/or challenge the theme for the 2014 meeting, "The Power of Words".
Options for addressing this theme include the influence of discourses and contents about career, success, job and work that have been sent and accepted over time. How social and cultural aspects impact career definitions and how these definitions frame people's thoughts about their career and life? How are career outcomes influenced by the words associated with organization's values and codes of ethics? What are the effects on career development and career management that come from the use of new communication technologies? How do the new technologies impact work-life integration? What are the language challenges one should think about when working abroad? What are the words, signs, symbols, gestures that impact a mentoring process? How are social scripts used to mold career success and to bar alternative forms of career? How can formal or legal words (organization norms or the law) help or jeopardize alternative work arrangements? How do social roles and cultural differences influence dual career? How do old speeches about gender can impact work-family and personal life integration? What possibilities in career counseling do narratives open? How can narratives help to build professional identity?
The submission system will be opened until Tuesday, January 14th , 2014, 5 PM ET (New York Time), but Details of the requirements for each session type are outlined in the Conference Call for Submissions. Keep in mind that developing symposia (including panel discussions) with broad appeal to 3 divisions (and submitting to all 3) increases the chance of having your symposia accepted. Please remember to sign up to review for the Careers Division at http://review.aomonline.org .
We are looking forward to receiving your submissions that will help us to create a great program!
