Schmidt-Hunter Meta-Analysis Award

Overview

The SIOP Foundation is committed to improving the lives of workers and the functioning of organizations through the science and practice of Industrial/Organizational Psychology.

The Schmidt-Hunter Meta-Analysis Award recognizes the best advances related to industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology as documented in published research in which meta-analysis is used.

This annual award, honoring Frank L. Schmidt and John E. Hunter, is given to a member of SIOP or team whose work or research has been shown to advance industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology as documented in published research in which meta-analysis is used.

The author(s) of the best published research in meta-analysis is (are) awarded a plaque and a $1,500 cash prize (to be split in the case of multiple authors). Award recipient(s), if qualified, will be asked to serve a three-year term on this award subcommittee beginning the following year.

Submissions will be evaluated in terms of the following criteria:

* The emphasis in this award is on methodological quality and general conceptual and theoretical quality, rather than on established impact on the field of I-O psychology. 
* The meta-analysis must advance cumulative knowledge and have implications for the development of understanding and explanation.
* The meta-analysis results should have some implications for the practice of I-O psychology. 
* Technical excellence must be shown. 
* Ideally, the published meta-analysis should contain full explanations of how the criteria above are met.

An expanded description of the criteria can be found here.
