With apologies for cross-posting:
The Institute of Work Psychology (IWP), University of Sheffield, is holding its biennial International Conference in Sheffield, UK, titled 'Work, Wellbeing and Performance: Thriving in times of uncertainty', on the 26th-28th June 2012. This conference follows our extremely successful events in 2008 and 2010 each of which attracted over 200 delegates from 36 different countries.
The online submission system is now open. The deadline for submissions is Friday 18th November 2011.
We invite high quality submissions in all areas of work, organizational, industrial, occupational and vocational psychology and in the related fields of organizational behavior and human resource management. Submissions to the scholarly program can be for paper presentations, poster presentations, symposia, round tables, and work-in-progress presentations of ongoing projects. We particularly encourage symposium submissions.
The conference will feature three internationally recognized keynote speakers - Professor Talya Bauer, School of Business Administration, Portland State University; Professor Gilad Chen, Robert H. Smith School of Business, The University of Maryland; and Professor Sharon Parker, UWA Business School, The University of Western Australia.
The conference theme, Thriving in times of uncertainty, encourages us to consider what facilitates high performance and well-being in challenging times. We encourage submissions that focus on the positive contribution that occupational/I-O psychology and related areas such as OB and HRM can make in a post-recovery climate.
Further details on the conference and submission guidelines can be found on our website at http://iwpconference.org/
Informal enquiries about the range of the conference and the submission process are welcome and can be directed at iwpconference@sheffield.ac.uk
Best wishes,
The IWP Conference Committee
