Career mobility, or the movement of people across jobs, is a burgeoning area of research in organizational theory. In this PDW, a group of nine rising scholars whose primary research interests concern the mechanisms underlying mobility – the factors that explain why and how people achieve or are prevented from achieving career mobility – will share emerging insights from their work in progress and spur discussions with the participants in an attempt to delineate the research needs and generate new ideas for future work. The workshop will be structured in three parts: 1) a series of 5-minute addresses in which each of the presenters will highlight one conceptual and one methodological advance in his or her current work; 2) discussion around roundtables, in which participants will be pre-matched with one or two presenters given their research interests; and 3) roundtables reports and plenary discussion. 

NB: In order to foster in-depth discussions and encourage novel project ideas and collaborations among participants, the number of seats is limited. Sign up early to secure a spot.
