SPECIAL RESEARCH FORUM CALL FOR PAPERS: MANAGERIAL COMPENSATION AND FIRM PERFORMANCE

The Academy of Management Journal is pleased to announce a call for papers for a special research forum on managerial compensation and firm performance. Guest co-editors will be Luis R. Gomez-Mejia and Harry Barkema.

This research forum is intended to improve our understanding of what determines man-

agerial pay and how it interacts with internal and external forces to impact firm performance. Social scientists examining these issues have emphasized notions such as fairness, power relationships, networks, and internal structural factors. Agency theorists have emphasized pecuniary incentives and the role of corporate governance. Strategic management researchers have documented correlations between managerial pay, strategy, and performance. Others have argued that contextual factors, such as the market, situational risk, and institutional constraints, play a major role in explaining managerial pay and its organizational consequences. We invite you to lower the boundaries between these areas and provide more insight regarding the above research question.

In particular, this research forum would like to encourage novel empirical approaches to the study of managerial pay and firm performance. All papers must be empirical in nature. Although not restricted to specific topics, ideally submissions should fall in one or more of the following categories.

International. Almost all previous studies of managerial pay use U.S. data. Yet, the scarce evidence on other countries suggests important cross-country differences. Such unique con- figurations of national culture (e.g., notions of justice and fairness, work values), power systems, institutional controls, historical traditions, and the like are exciting areas to explore regarding the above research questions. Submissions may deal with a broad set of international issues such as the combined effect of economic and noneconomic (power, culture, etc.) factors as determinants of managerial pay; the interaction between managerial pay and country-specific forces (e.g., takeover market, large blockholders, financial institutions, industrial policy) as determinants of corporate and SBU strategy and performance; tests of relevant hypotheses using "in-depth" studies of individual countries or cross-country studies (e.g., can some managerial compensation strategies be used effectively on a universal basis, while others customized to meet the specific needs of diverse national cultures?); and so forth.

Interdisciplinary. The determinants of managerial pay and its effect on firm performance may be better understood by linking variables and models from different disciplines. As a whole, most of the extant research has originated in economics and finance. Submissions that can develop synthetic or integrated frameworks that bridge two or more disciplines to study the above research question are encouraged.

Innovative methodologies. With few exceptions, investigators examining the antecedents and consequences of managerial pay tend to rely on archival data available in Compustat, Disclosure, and other similar sources. One problem with the use of these databases is that researchers are constrained by the information included in them (e.g., data is reported for top five executives only), and large inferential leaps may need to be made when measuring certain constructs (e.g., stockholder influence). Submissions that use unconventional data sources and novel methodologies are encouraged.

In preparing manuscripts, authors should follow requirements specified in AMTs "Style Guide for Authors." Cover letters should request that papers be specifically considered for this special research forum. Five copies of the manuscript should be sent to Angelo DeNisi, Academy of Management Journal, Institute of Management and Labor Relations, Livingston Campus, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08903-5062. Papers must be received no later than April 5, 1996, to be considered for this forum. All submissions will be blind reviewed in accord with AMJ's normal review process and criteria.

SPECIAL RESEARCH FORUM CALL FOR PAPERS: TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS IN THE

ORGANIZATIONAL SCIENCES

We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a special research forum on teaching effectiveness in the organizational sciences. Guest co-editors will be Peter Frost and Cynthia Fukami.

There has been increased attention to teaching as a legitimate scholarly activity in business schools. Professional organizations are providing financial and moral support for the development and recognition of teaching excellence. Deans and other university adminis- trators now make teaching performance a priority in their reports and statements about progress in professional schools. Teaching is also being treated as equivalent to research for purposes of tenure and promotion in more and more previously research-dominated facul- ties. The dilemma is that teaching in business schools lacks much conceptual orientation and little systematic empirical research. We do not know a great deal about what it means to talk about good teaching and effective learning in the organizational sciences. We have not har- nessed what we have learned about organizations as learning systems, political entities, are- nas for leadership, and the like, to understand teaching performance and outcomes.

It is not clear what questions should be asked in order to conduct meaningful research on teaching in our field. Nevertheless, we are convinced that it is important to begin to fo- cus on this research. Undoubtedly, there are lessons to be learned from research in the field of higher education. We need also to have a research base on teaching effectiveness from within our own field. We are inviting those interested to submit papers that report on innovative studies on teaching. We are not seeking studies that report simple correlations between teaching styles and performance and the like.

The following are the kind of research issues we consider interesting, while not defini- tive:

* What is the nature of effective teaching about the organizational sciences in an age of rapid change and technological innovation?

* Are there significant gains to learning that stem from computer-based instruction? What are the limits of such approaches?

* What is the role of power in the classroom? What is the nature of control in teaching? Are there systematic differences in teaching effectiveness, on learning based upon gender, ethnicity of instructors, of students?

* What factors are significant in the development of effective teachers? * Are there lessons for teaching performance that emerge from theories and research

on topics such as leadership, control, learning, and so forth? * What are the effects of different learning experiences, such as planned teaching

(e.g., in some case methods) versus improvised teaching? Can this be institu- tionally influenced? Does it make a difference when one method (e.g., planned or spontaneous) is overlearned by being the norm in a business school?

* What are the effects of internship/project versus classroom learning and are there contingent institutional influences involved?

* What is the nature of teaching evaluation, for example, the relationships between teaching performance and process, and evaluation of instructor outcomes and effectiveness?

* Are there viable, empirically grounded critical analyses of teaching in the organizational sciences?

We encourage naturalistic as well as laboratory studies, qualitative as well as quantitative methodologies. Our major concerns are to stimulate research that will provide thoughtful, imag- inative, well-crafted studies on the teaching process and its outcomes.

In preparing manuscripts, authors should follow AMJ's "Style Guide for Authors." Cov- er letters should request that papers be specifically considered for this special research forum. Send five copies of the manuscript to Angelo DeNisi, Academy of Management Jour- nal, Institute of Management and Labor Relations, Livingston Campus, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08903-5062. Papers must be received no later than June 1, 1996. All submissions will be blind reviewed by an editorial board in accord with AMJ's normal process. Prospective contributors desiring further information should contact Peter J. Frost, Canada, fax (604) 822-9516, phone (604) 822-8318, or Cynthia V. Fukami, U.S.A., fax (303) 871-2294, phone (303) 871-2193.

CALL FOR PAPERS

SPECIAL ISSUE OF HUMAN RELATIONS TO CELEBRATE THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE TAVISTOCK

INSTITUTE OF HUMAN RELATIONS IN 1996-97

THE USE OF SOCIAL SCIENCE FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS

There is wide agreement among scholars and practitioners that institutions have been undergoing a fundamental changeover the last 15 years or so. Sometimes this has been described as marking a break with the functionalist rationalism that has dominated modernist thought for several centuries. For some, the cleavage is

profound; for others, merely another "climacteric" in the development of capital- ism. For many writers, it is an opportunity to extend the process of workplace em- powerment; for others, merely another instance of the reassertion of market dom- inance by employers.

One the eve of the Jubilee Year of the foundation of The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, the present editors of Human Relations see a parallel between the circumstances in which its founders determined that social science should play a part in the redesign of post-WWII institutions and those existing today. We invite contributions to a special issue devoted to reflection on current changes in fam-

ily, work, employment, and societal relationships and the extent to which these changes have been influenced by social science or can be shaped by social scientists working within known methodological constraints. While evidently wishing to include commentary on the present viability of both the sociopsychological and the sociotechnical frame of analysis created by The Tavistock Institute's pioneers, we are equally concerned to explore the reconceptualization of meaning to be given to institutions. This exploration should be informed by and firmly anchored in

empirical observation. Potential areas of empirical foci include (but are not limited to):

* The reconstruction of personal relationships within the family or community.

* The changing status of women in the latter contexts and in the workplace. * The reconstruction of individual authority and the civil rights of the cit-

izen within the workplace, the market place, and home. * The reconstruction of ethnic and ideological identities in the face of shift-

ing regional populations and markets. * The reconstruction of organizational boundaries in the face of rapidly

moving technological and market changes.

Potential authors should write for a more detailed call for papers to the editors at The Tavistock Institute, 30 Tabernacle Street, London EC2A 4DD. Guide- lines on the layout of manuscripts are to be found on the flyleaf of copies of Hu- man Relations. Closing date for receipt of manuscripts will be February 2, 1996.
