Friday, 11 January 2013 09:35

Call for submissions. The 2014 Conference on Commitment brings together a community of scholars interested in the phenomenon of commitment to share and discuss ideas and research findings. The conference seeks to advance the literature by promoting leading-edge thinking on all aspects and forms of commitment regardless of bases, mindset, or target (e.g., commitment to organizations - employing or other, people, teams, occupation, goals, routines, change efforts, decisions, values, etc.). A special issue of Journal of Organizational Behavior will be developed from the best presentations and ideas from the conference.

The conference will be held November 14-15, 2014 in Columbus, OH, USA and will be a mix of invited (30%) and peer reviewed (70%) presentations. The small size of this single track conference promotes opportunities for informal interaction and dialogue among attendees to facilitate networking, collaboration, the sharing of ideas, and in-depth discussions. Individuals interested in participating on the conference program need to submit an abstract for consideration. Submissions may address any aspect of commitment in organizational contexts. The deadline for receipt of submissions is March 15, 2014.

Qualitative Methods Workshop PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 03 March 2011 18:42

Announcing the Qualitative Methods Workshop at UC Davis Graduate School of Management

July 26-28, 2011
Instructors:  Beth Bechky, Kim Elsbach, Andy Hargadon

We're happy to announce our first training workshop, open to faculty and doctoral students.  This three-day workshop will provide intensive training in basic methods of qualitative data collection, analysis, and presentation. The course will consist of a short field-based project to provide hands-on experience in:
1.       Observation and interviewing
2.       Creating field notes and drafting memos
3.       Grounded theoretical analysis and developing categories from the data
4.       Framing and presenting qualitative research in order to make theoretical contributions to the literature

Our goal is not only to provide training in qualitative methods, but to work together to develop a community of colleagues to support participants as they go on to do their own qualitative research projects. 

UC Davis is located in northern California, about 45 miles from Napa and 75 miles from San Francisco.  Ranked #1 by the Financial Times in 2006, the Organizations group at UC Davis is renowned for its concentration of qualitative scholars.  For the last decade, we have held the annual Davis Conference on Qualitative Research on campus. 

The basic cost will be $1500, with a discounted rate of $900 for doctoral students. Attendees are expected to pay for their own travel and lodging costs (the closest airport is Sacramento International). Applications are due April 30, 2011.

See our website for more detailed information about the schedule and logistics for the workshop, and to apply:  http://qualitativemethodsworkshop.ucdavis.edu/methods.php
