Query to MSR Listserv Members: let us know when you have used MSR to ground initiatives

  • 1.  Query to MSR Listserv Members: let us know when you have used MSR to ground initiatives

    Posted 11-17-2015 11:12
    Dear MSR members:

    In conversation last evening with others involved in a bit of MSR history research, Stacie Chappell came up with a question so interesting I promised to post it to listserv, due credit having been noted. The questions is simple: has anyone ever referenced MSR as a basis or rationale for research? If you have, might you let us know by a reply post to the listserv itself? We may often wonder what MSR does and is, but we've really not done much to see what it has been used for by others to effect.

    Thanks!

    In the early part of the last decade I often cited the presence of MSR to legitimate my attention to its concerns as being legitimate within the Academy of Management.

    I am taking my course to the curriculum committee, via the Department of Management.  Two faculty members contend that a leadership course should contain only what has been empirically proven and published in top tier academic journals. 

    One told me that stimulating students to reflect on who they are and what they believe/value should only be done by a certified clinical psychologist.  (I'm not making this up.)

     

    The existence of MSR as a legitimate part of AOM does not mean that it is accepted as a reference for building a leadership course that aims to address the whole person.

     

    That said, I'd be grateful for any examples of similar courses that have been accepted as part of the curriculum.  Or all we all operating in the margins?

     

    Thanks,

    I used the existance of MSR twice: once about 9 years ago, to apply to the teaching committee of the executive education center in Tel Aviv University, getting approval to teach an executive program on "management, business and spirituality". The second time, about 3 years ago, to get approval for teaching undergraduate students in the business school a course on "The spiritual foundation of management". 
    Both times, the fact that MSR is part of the AOM was very helpful in getting the approval.
    As both programs were very successful, with very warm feedbacks from participants, it was no longer nessessary to use it for the following courses and programs...

    At the University of Scranton both Len Tischler and I were able to incorporate spirituality into our management and leadership courses. It probably helped that the University of Scranton is a Jesuit university, and that we emphasized teaching the whole person in our management courses.

    Dan,

    There are several textbooks that focus on developing managerial/leadership skills.  They all call for self-assessments and self-reflection as well as giving useful information about best, or at least good, practices in different skill areas related to management and leadership.  I've been using Developing Management Skills by David Whetten and Kim Cameron for a graduate course for almost a decade.  I include in the course that students practice daily a meditative type of practice to enhance their general self-awareness and that they write reflections about their skill sets, and if, what, and how they want to improve in each area of self-assessment.  I'm currently teaching an online course with students who are average age 35 and mostly already in a managerial position.  I consistently get thank you notes from about half of the students each term, weighted toward the higher level students, many saying they learned more in that class than in any other class they've taken.  And i'm not unique: three others at our school teach the course the same way and get similar results.  

    There aren't enough psychologists or trained counselors around (at universities or in companies) to create these results for our business students, and helping them grow as people through enhanced self-awareness is critical to their becoming a good, or better, leader or manager.  In addition, psychologists at most universities rarely teach these skills.  They teach about them, but not in a way that enhances the skills themselves.  We find the same issue with most courses on ethics: how much do they enhance the future ethical behavior of the business people who took those courses?  

    A final thought: recruiters (companies) have been asking for more soft skills from business schools over the years.  They can teach the hard skills needed for particular jobs, but they're generally not suited to teach the soft skills, which they feel are important and lacking more than hard skills.  Their desire for more soft skills training goes along with the research (in top journals) that shows that people skills (soft skills) are increasingly important as one moves up the corporate ladder (to management and leadership positions). Continuing to only teach the hard skills defeats the purpose and value of a business education for future managers and leaders.

    One other thing I would add to what Len is saying is that psychologists tend to teach about what can go wrong with human mental health.  Only the positive psychologists, who are still a minority, teach about full human potential, or as Kim Cameron has pointed out, the positive aberration of human behavior.  Those are not Kim's words, but the concept is that it is important to learn more about what's above average regarding human capability.  The relevance to business is easy to see.  The more leaders can tap into their full capacity, the more effective they will be, and the more competitive the organization will be.

    Thanks, Judi, and others. I am reminded by Judi's note that MSR often draws scholarly  strength and further validity from interdisciplinary insights and perspectives.

     

    Another scholarly guild outside MSR worth noting relative to this thread is behavioral economics. This burgeoning field recognizes the ontological reality of behavior that is motivated by things other than rational economic theory or self-interest, including such factors as altruism, concern for humanity, and religion/spirituality.

    Best,

    David

    I am taking my course to the curriculum committee, via the Department of Management.  Two faculty members contend that a leadership course should contain only what has been empirically proven and published in top tier academic journals.  

    One told me that stimulating students to reflect on who they are and what they believe/value should only be done by a certified clinical psychologist.  (I'm not making this up.)

     

    The existence of MSR as a legitimate part of AOM does not mean that it is accepted as a reference for building a leadership course that aims to address the whole person.

     

    That said, I'd be grateful for any examples of similar courses that have been accepted as part of the curriculum.  Or all we all operating in the margins?

     

    Thanks,

    Dear MSR members:

    In conversation last evening with others involved in a bit of MSR history research, Stacie Chappell came up with a question so interesting I promised to post it to listserv, due credit having been noted. The questions is simple: has anyone ever referenced MSR as a basis or rationale for research? If you have, might you let us know by a reply post to the listserv itself? We may often wonder what MSR does and is, but we've really not done much to see what it has been used for by others to effect.

    Thanks!

    I also often cited the presence of MSR in several articles, chapters in books, and books that I edited as evidence of the field being a legitimate area of academic enquiry within the Academy of Management.

    I cited my involvement with MSR as a source of my legitimacy for being hired for the role as the Director of the Tyson Center for Faith and Spirituality in the Workplace.  I also cite the existence of MSR is just about all of my journal articles, books, and book chapters.  Martin Rutte has said that the formation of MSR was the most significant thing that has happened in the field of workplace spirituality.

    Many doctoral students have cited the existence of MSR as justification for doing research which is considered "fringe" by some mainstream faculty.  The existence of the Promising Dissertation Award in MSR has helped to give legitimacy to quite a number of dissertations.  Has anyone ever made a comprehensive list of the people who received the award and the titles of their dissertations?

    Oh yes.  My involvement with MSR also helped to give me legitimacy in being selected by Fetzer Institute to do a study on Workplace Spirituality.
