We are officially a week out from the SIOP Annual Conference in Chicago, IL! We are very proud of the showing from our students and faculty - we hope you have the chance to stop by and see what they've been up to on the research front or join us at our reception! 🔴⚫️🐾

Last week we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Paul Sackett as our inaugural Dan Mack Memorial Lecturer. In addition to speaking on recent findings related to cognitive ability in selection and sharing valuable insights on assessment centers, many students had the opportunity to informally chat with him at a lunch and reception!

Last Friday we had the pleasure of hosting our first speaker for the Spring semester, Dr. Danielle King from Rice University! She presented on Employee Resilience and Stigma at Work. It's always good to hear from great people doing awesome work - even better to get a chance to chat with them at a happy hour at the end of the work day! Thanks for making the trip Dr. King!

New Year, new book author! We are so excited to share a book written by one of our own, Dr. Malissa Clark ! Her book, titled Never Not Working: Why the Always-On Culture is Bad for Business—and How to Fix It (published by Harvard Business Review Press), will be out in February! Pre-orders are also available on Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble, and most other places books are sold!

It is with deep sorrow that we share the news of Dr. Gary Lautenschlager’s passing. Dr. L dedicated his career to the IO faculty at UGA, leaving a lasting impact on the field of IO Psychology and his students. A Celebration of Dr. L’s life is scheduled for January 25th at 11 am at the Day Chapel of the State Botanical Garden in Athens.

Congratulations to students Nick Haynes and Katelyn Sanders, faculty member Malissa Clark, and program alumni Andrea Hetrick on their most recent publication in Journal of Applied Psychology!

The theoretical and empirical utility of dimension-based work–family conflict: A meta-analysis. Most work–family conflict (WFC) research does not theorize, hypothesize, or empirically test phenomena at the dimension level. Instead, researchers have predominantly used composite-level approaches based on the directions of WFC (work-to-family and family-to-work conflict). However, conceptualizi...

"A Processual Theory of Strategic Consensus"

MP: Dorothy Carter

One of the objectives of our professional Master's program to equip those who are already accomplished in their own careers and industries with the I/O knowledge and skills needed to influence positive change in their own areas of the workforce.

Recently, we were lucky to get to teach (and learn from) Dr. Elizabeth Duggan, M.D., an amazingly talented anesthesiologist, educator, researcher, and leader. Dr. Duggan was the Chief of Service in General, Vascular, Transplant and Neuroanesthesiology Division at Emory University Hospital when she joined our program. She graduated in 2021 and has since worked to educate leaders in the field of anesthesiology on opportunities to implement I/O evidence-based best practices.

Our Graduate School recently produced this feature on the impact of Dr. Duggan's experience in the IOMP at UGA.
