In the aftermath of the 2024 U.S. elections and global employment trends, the Academy of Management's role as an international institution devoted to issues of management, employment, and interdisciplinary research becomes ever more important. Our Professional Development Workshop (PDW) intends to bring together Academy members seeking "employment with justice" from a range of research perspectives. If you are interested in attending or would like to offer a component towards the criterion goal of employment with justice, then I would like to hear from you by early December.
With the Management, Spirituality, and Religion Division (MSR) as primary PDW Division sponsor, a theology of the workplace will offer an organizing basis:
· MSR has a unique Division mission claim to address ultimate human values and meanings as these avail in management and employment.
· A theology of the workplace studies the working rules that variously enable or constrain justice in employment, including contracts, labor union support, managerial prerogative and employee participation within worksite, firm, or nation from religious or spiritual social teachings.
· An empirical method of criterion – predictor analysis enables researcher modelling efforts for policy goals of authenticity and justice in employment relations, whether from religious social teachings or other critical perspectives.
