The associate professor of management presented three research studies dealing with industrial and organizational psychology.
Brian Lyons, associate professor of management in the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business, presented three research studies he co-authored at the 30th Annual Conference of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology, held April 23-25 in Philadelphia.
The three presentations included, “Exploring organizational concern for employee off-duty deviance,” “The prevalence and effectiveness of peer reporting policies,” and “Box scores and bottom lines: Sports data and staffing research.”
The abstract of “Exploring organizational concern for employee off-duty deviance” reads:
“Anecdotal evidence suggests that organizations are increasingly concerned with employee deviance outside of work, but management research has neglected this workplace phenomenon. This study defines off-duty deviance (ODD) as an emergent construct, describes the theoretical and practical significance, and uses a qualitative approach to explore organizational concern for ODD.”
The abstract of “The prevalence and effectiveness of peer reporting policies” reads:
“Policies requiring workers to report the misbehavior of coworkers provide a potential means of combatting CWBs. Study 1 found that such policies are common among Fortune 250 companies; Study 2 found that workers are more likely to report coworker CWBs if their organizations have a clearly written peer reporting policy.”
The abstract of “Box scores and bottom lines: Sports data and staffing research” reads:
“This symposium brings together studies that further lay the groundwork for the integration of evidence-based approaches to staffing with the unique challenges of selecting and recruiting athletes and coaches. Samples from the NBA, MLB, NFL, and the NCAA basketball leagues are analyzed and implications for management and practice are established.”
The conference included professional development sessions and opportunities to network with industrial and organizational psychologists from across the globe.
