    Are you a doctoral student or a junior faculty member who is interested in learning the craft of
    reviewing or improving your reviewing skills? If so, the MOC Division is sponsoring “Reviewing in
    the Rough: A Professional Development Workshop for Doctoral Students and Junior Faculty” at this
    year’s Academy of Management Annual Meeting in Boston, MA

    To reserve your spot, please complete the following steps:
    1. Send an e-mail to mocreview@gmail.com to request a copy of an original submission of Scott
    DeRue’s manuscript “A Quasi-experimental Study of After-event Reviews and Leadership
    Development.”
    2. Complete a formal review of this manuscript (i.e., approximately two single-spaced pages).
    3. E-mail your completed review to mocreview@gmail.com.
    4. We will e-mail you the registration code for the PDW.
    5. Register for the PDW at the AOM program website.

    Reviewing is a critical “professional responsibility” and an integral part of participating in the
    academic community (Trevino, 2008). Yet Tsang and Frey (2007: 129) noted that “there is no
    formal training for referees who usually pick up their review skills through learning by doing.” This
    raises a perplexing question for doctoral students and junior faculty members: how can they
    develop critical reviewing skills when there are so few opportunities for doctoral students and
    junior faculty members to practice the art of reviewing? This professional development workshop
    (PDW) provides doctoral students and junior faculty with a rare opportunity to learn and practice
    the art of reviewing. Prior to the conference, doctoral students/junior faculty will be asked to
    prepare a formal review of an original submission of Scott DeRue’s manuscript “A Quasi-
    experimental Study of After-event Reviews and Leadership Development” (DeRue, Nahrgang,
    Hollenbeck, & Workman, in press). Please note that this manuscript will replace the manuscript
    listed in the official conference program. The actual workshop will consist of two sessions: (1) a
    panel session and (2) an interactive session. The workshop will begin with Scott DeRue, who will
    provide background information about the original manuscript submission. Next, a panel session
    will provide participants an opportunity to gain key insights about quality reviewing from a former
    Editor, Associate Editor, and Editorial Board Member. Participants will then break into small groups,
    facilitated by an experienced faculty member, to discuss and receive feedback on their formal
    reviews. Jennifer Nahrgang will then discuss the actual reviews of the original submission and how
    they helped shape the final manuscript. Finally, the PDW will conclude with a question and answer
    period.
