Center for Leadership Science team wins best paper award

UNC Charlotte organizational science researchers recently received an international Best Paper Award from the journal Organizational Research Methods for their work to advance research methods in organizational scholarship.

The study specifically explores how researchers in the organizational sciences use the methodological best practices they cite. In academic research, a methodological best practice is a method that has been shown to reliably yield a desired result. Examples include the design of a study, data collection and analysis and other research steps.

Scott Tonidandel, director of the interdisciplinary Organizational Science Program and a management professor in the Belk College of Business, collaborated with authors Liana M. Kreamer and Betsy H. Albritton — organizational science Ph.D. students at the time — and Steven G. Rogelberg, Chancellor’s Professor and professor of organizational science, management and psychological science, on the paper.

“This research matters because it will improve the overall quality of our science. So, when a businessperson reads an organizational science article, they can have more confidence in the results because the methods behind those findings were correctly executed,” said Tonidandel.
