7th ANNUAL PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS CONFERENCE
October 10th and 11th , 2014
The Wharton School, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This is an intimate conference of ~75 attendees that occurs over two days. The goal is to continue to build and support the community of scholars from economics, industrial relations, organization theory, political science, sociology and strategy who share a common interest in macro-level research on topics associated with work and employment.
As in past years, the conference will feature both plenary sessions where scholars will present their research to the entire audience and research roundtable sessions where participants share special topics or work-in-process in smaller group settings. In both cases we are particularly seeking studies that have not yet been published nor accepted for publication. Submissions from all fields and disciplines are welcome. All submissions are evaluated anonymously by the organizing committee.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
Submit your abstract (800 words or less in a Word document) via email to Nancy Permsap at the Wharton Center for Human Resources - nancy57@wharton.upenn.edu before June 30, 2014. To facilitate our anonymous evaluation process please DO NOT include names or affiliations in this attached abstract. Instead, please include the cover page information for your paper (paper title and the names, affiliations and email addresses of all co-authors) in the body of the email.
ATTENDANCE:
If you would like to attend the conference and not present a paper, please let us know by June 30th as well. Spaces are limited, especially for overnight accommodations, but we will do our best within logistics constraints. In the interests of maximizing participation within our limited budget, we hope that participants can handle their own travel expenses.
QUESTIONS:
Feel free to contact any of the members of the organizing committee with questions.
