SIOP Best International Paper Award Grant

Funder: Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology Foundation (SIOP)

The SIOP Best International Paper Award recognizes outstanding scholarship in Global, International, and Cross-Cultural Issues within Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Submissions can include empirical or theoretical research that addresses global concerns, comparative studies across nations, or cultural value measurements. Award recipients receive a plaque and recognition at SIOP events, highlighting the importance of these topics in enhancing workplace and organizational outcomes on a global scale.

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 SIOP Best International Paper Award is awarded to the poster deemed to be the most outstanding example of scholarship in Global, International, and/or Cross-Cultural Issues. Posters are evaluated in the first stage by general Annual Conference reviewers and in a second stage by members of the SIOP International Affairs Committee (IAC).
Below are examples of what may constitute Global, International, and Cross-Cultural Issues
Global issues pertain to topics/practices globally accepted or engaged in OR to environmental issues that have broad/global impacts on organizations, workforce, students, or the I-O field. Posters that focus on these global issues using a broad sample would fit under this category.International issues pertain to research conducted in or affecting two or more nations, typically a comparative study exploring topics/constructs/practices and grouping results by nation. Constructs may not be widely accepted or shared and thus do not fit the Global definition above.Cross-Cultural issues pertain to research that includes measures of cultural values and explore topics/constructs/practices within the context of those cultural values, with results discussed through that lens. Culture is a key variable driving or moderating outcomes.
Submissions may involve empirical research, conceptual/theoretical research, or teaching-related activities from any area of I-O psychology (either self-nominated for the International Poster Award or submitted with “Global/International/Cross-Cultural Issues” as the submission’s primary or secondary topic designation). The focus of the submission must involve issues related to Global, International, or Cross-Cultural Issues as defined above. IAC members will be prevented from reviewing submissions if their poster is under consideration for the award.
The award recipient(s) will receive a commemorative plaque, recognition in SIOP promotional materials, and recognition at the IAC International reception.
