Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship Stephen M. Ross School of Business University of Michigan The Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS) is pleased to announce the 2010 biannual award for the best published scholarly article in POS. The purpose of the award is to recognize outstanding scholarship in POS and to encourage research in this growing field. The first biannual award was given in 2008 – more information is available at
http://www.bus.umich.edu/Positive/CPOS/Activities/best-paper.html . This award carries a $5,000 (USD) prize plus paid expenses to the next Conference on Positive Organizational Scholarship to be held January 6-7- 8, 2011, at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI USA. The recipient is expected to give an invited talk at the conference, based on the article that wins the award. The article must be published or accepted for publication in the two years prior to September 1, 2010. The main subject of the article must address key issues or themes in POS, but it may be based on any discipline, such as psychology, sociology, organization studies, or others. The article must be empirical in orientation, rather than solely theoretical or a review of the literature. Any research method is acceptable. To apply for the 2010 award, email a pdf copy of the article (written in English) to the Center for POS at
positiveorg@umich.edu on or before September 1, 2010. You may self-nominate your own article or nominate an article by others. An article may be sole-authored or have multiple authors, though expenses for travel to the conference and accommodations will be paid for only one person. The article must be either (1) published between September 1, 2008, and August 31, 2010, or (2) have a letter dated between September 1, 2008, and August 31, 2010, from the editor, indicating unconditional acceptance. Submitted articles will be evaluated by faculty members of the Center for POS; their decision will be final. The award criteria include originality, contribution to POS, quality of empirical data and analysis, and potential to inspire additional POS research. The committee may arrive at the conclusion that none of the submitted articles merits the award. For more information about POS, visit the Center for POS website at:
