Sequence Analysis in Career & HRM Research: Techniques and Practical Applications
This is an introductory workshop on sequence analysis, specifically on optimal matching analysis. Optimal matching analysis can be used to assess similarity of sequence data, and to find patterns in longitudinal nominal data. The workshop is targeted at researchers and doctoral students who want to get started with this method. The objective of the workshop is to encourage and enable participants to apply sequence analysis in their own research. After introducing fundamentals of the method, we will provide examples of its use in empirical career studies. Attendees will then develop practical, hands-on skills for using optimal matching analysis by analyzing a sample data set with career sequences. We will discuss important practical issues and introduce some advanced applications, giving enough room for discussion and questions. After registration, participants will be provided with a download link to the free software R, sample data, and some syntax for R that can serve as a blueprint

HR Process Research: Next Steps and New Avenues
HR process research focuses on explaining the relationship between HR practices and organizational performance. In addition to research on the HR implementation process and the role of line managers, it focuses on employees’ perceptions of HR with two influential lines of research drawing on different versions of attribution theory. One line of research, concerned with HR system strength and initiated by Bowen and Ostroff (2004; see also Ostroff & Bowen, 2016) examines how features of the HR system might influence employee responses. The other line of research, initiated by Nishii, Lepak and Schneider (2008) explores employees’ HR attributions or beliefs about why organizations implement specific HR practices and how these attributions affect subsequent attitudes and behavior. The PDW involves scholars including Cheri Ostroff and Lisa Nishii, whose seminal papers initiated the two streams of research, to discuss future steps and new avenues for the HR process research.

HR Analytics and Digital Transformation: Implications for Leadership Practice, Research, Education
The digital transformation of organisations has resulted in unpredicted opportunities for making use of advanced technology and data to improve business processes and outcomes. In Human Resource Management (HRM), HR Analytics and Big Data have become buzz terms as organizations are keen to increase their competitive advantage by using human capital analytics (HCA) for strategic decision-making (e.g. Minbaeva, 2017a). A recurring, fundamental question that HR and Management scholars and practitioners are faced with is: How do we equip our leaders to lead effectively in this context? What does this transformation mean for leadership theory and practice? While consultancy services, professional training programs and executive education are currently offered to organisations to cope with these questions, theory development and empirical assessment in scholarship is lagging behind. The aim of this PDW is to create a dialogue around these questions that can inspire research (theory developme

Sustainable HRM: The Emerging Future of HRM for Corporate Sustainability
Large corporations are beginning to include sustainability objectives as components of their business strategies in response to external institutional pressures (e.g., UN Compact, GRI for sustainability etc.). Corporate sustainability business strategies strive to simultaneously achieve positive financial, social/human and environmental outcomes for the common good. The current HRM practices have limited relevance to the pursuit of sustainability to the extent that they focus primarily on improving the financial performance for firms, often with little concern for social and environmental performance. Hence, we believe that “sustainable HRM”, building on strategic HRM, represents the next evolutionary stage for the field of HRM to shape more impactful organizations in societal development and the protection of the natural environment. The workshop consists of four parts. First, we introduce the workshop and present a historical review on the development of sustainable HRM. Second, we w

The Global Work Design Project: Findings from a 40-Country Study
This PDW will create the opportunity for scholars interested in the concept of “good work” from a cross-national perspective to come together to discuss findings from an international project involving 40 countries. Using presentations and roundtable discussions, we will explore the meaning of good work, how it can be measured using the Work Design Questionnaire (WDQ), and the impact of national context. The objectives of the session are (a) to bring together researchers from multiple perspectives (e.g. HRM, OB, IM) to allow an open exchange of knowledge and research techniques, (b) to address the important issue of good work design from a cross- national perspective, (c) to explore the findings of a large international study in this field initiated by the Ambassadors of the HR Division, and (d) to stimulate ideas for future research. The workshop supports the HR Division’s desire to focus on more cross- cultural topics, as well as networking members internationally.

Artificial Intelligence: Which Impact on Management?
This highly interactive and innovative workshop will give to all participants an opportunity to exchange their views on the theme: "What are the potential consequences of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for management?" AI potentially acts against inclusiveness, dividing between humans and technology, dividing between optimistic and pessimistic. Applied research is required about the practice of management related to AI. In which respect does AI changes organizational communication? How are AI technologies related to electronic platforms? What are their affordances? What is the impact of AI on organization structure? What are the opportunities and challenges of AI for e-commerce? Mobile commerce? How can AI technologies contribute to online platforms and communities of practices? How about the methods used in IS design and development? How can we understand, evaluate and contribute to these methods? In which respect is AI integrated in digital transformation? Or in digital ecosystems? How

Publishing in Top Tier US Journals for Non-US Scholars
Once a research project has been completed, one of the most prestigious forms of publication is a journal paper. There is not only increasing pressure to publish, but to publish in ‘top tier’ journals. There is vast and comprehensive information about the range and scope of refereed research journals in every field. The objective of this Professional Development Workshop is to provide insight to – and engage with – non-US scholars who intend to publish in top tier US journals in the HR field. Publishing in top tier US journals is very important for non-US scholars for several reasons. Top tier journals receive a particularly heavy weighting in promotion, salary and tenure decisions. High article concentration would also be of interest to administrators of graduate programs. Research output increases school and department rankings, which in turn attracts the most qualified candidates. Better candidates then further improve a program’s ranking. We have, therefore, invited members of the

Translating Research for Practical Impact
Organizational scholars are increasingly being asked to translate their research for practical impact. From maintaining online social media accounts, to publishing in practitioner-oriented journals, to speaking to the popular press, it is critical that researchers understand how to simplify typically complex studies into mediums that are more readily consumable. This need for practical translation is amplified when considering tenure-related decisions at business schools; indeed, practitioner-or

The Use of Serious Games in HRM Research, Teaching and Practice
Serious games have the potential to serve as research tools in the HRM domain, educational tools for the teaching of HRM, and tools for HRM practice. In this PDW we will not only address these three use cases for serious games, we will invite participants to experience a serious game that we have designed and used for all three priory mentioned use cases. InLine is a strategic HRM serious game in which players are challenged to design a firm specific HRM configuration. InLine has been used as a research tool by enabling insight in decisions by HR- professionals regarding firm specific HR-practices over multiple years, as an educational tool for the teaching of configurational HRM, and as a decision support tool for the design of a firm specific HRM configuration in practice. The goal of the PDW is to inspire participants to consider the use of serious games in their research, education and practice of HRM. Take home deliverables for participants are (1) an exploration of the possibilit

European HRM Programme: Experience as the Source of Learning and Development
The European Human Resource Management (EHRM) programme brings together participants and faculty from five leading European business schools and universities to deliver the relevant skills and conceptual tools to master students. The aim of the programme is twofold: 1) by means of three teaching periods it provides a thorough grounding in approaches to human resource management in internationally operating organisations across Europe and 2) it supports students’ learning and development in terms of their intercultural competences (i.e. cultural intelligence, global mindset) by means of an international Human Resource Management project to be worked on in intercultural teams on-site in companies. In a two hours session, the five programme partners will offer distinct, empirically grounded perspectives on the lessons learned over the past 25 years of teaching the EHRM programme. As cross-cultural competencies are considered to be a prerequisite for being successful, this PDW can hence be

Doing Comparative Research and Co-Creating Knowledge through International Research Networks
The expansion of multi-national organizations across the world leads to an interesting set of issues for managers. Organizations must take into account the organizational, institutional and cultural environment when designing management policy and practice. This means that there is a need for high quality comparative research that can identify the commonalities and differences in practice between countries and their root sources. The question remains as to how we can best produce rigorous and valid comparative management research and how we can co-create it for dissemination. This workshop will examine the opportunities and challenges that comparative research presents for international management researchers, and will discuss specifically the use of networks to conduct such research. Using the experience of a network of scholars (Cranet) that have conducted comparative research into HRM for 30 years in over 40 countries, this workshop aims to exchange knowledge around comparative mana

Managing Stress in the Early Career Phase
This PDW is designed for doctoral students and early career scholars interested in managing the stress associated with moving through the tenure track. The PDW will be divided into three parts. In the first part, participants will hear brief personal stories from a panel of four scholars who will share stresses they faced at work, followed by an audience Q&A session and a small groups discussion of how to cope with work-based stress. In the second part, participants will again hear brief personal stories from a panel of four scholars, this time focused on stresses at the intersection of work and home life. The panel will again be followed by audience Q&A and a small groups discussion of how to cope with stress at the intersection of work and home life. In the third and final part of the session the small groups will share their coping strategies with the entire group, leading to a set of actionable takeaways for the audience.

Mentoring Graduate Students: Tips, Best Practices, and Life-Changing Stories from the Experts
A critical and challenging role of faculty members is serving as a mentor to graduate students. Guiding the development of graduate students can be difficult, and there are few bodies of codified knowledge to help faculty members learn how to improve as mentors. This session offers “lessons learned” from faculty members with a track record of successfully mentoring graduate students. Panelists include pairs of faculty mentors with their former student mentees from around the world who will offer their different perspectives on what makes a mentoring relationship successful and provide practical tips on mentoring graduate students.

Creating Inclusive Organizations Through Shared Ownership, Participation and Profits
Since the Great Depression of 2008 interest has grown in inclusive organizations that share ownership, participation and profits such as worker cooperatives, employee stock ownership plans (ESOP’s), perpetual trusts, and employee-owned collectives. All such organizations would fall under Paul Adler’s (2016) definition of alternative economic futures. Some countries such as the United States and United Kingdom have passed legislation to encourage the development of such enterprises. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) emphasizing ESOP and cooperative associations have been established or have become more visible in multiple countries. The United Nations declared 2012 as the International Year of Cooperatives. On July 28, 2017, the China Daily reported that employee-owned firms were growing rapidly in China. Furthermore, it attributed the resurgence of the Chinese stock market and investor confidence to the growth in shared ownership. Despite the interest and application of alternate
