About the Conference
Objectives | Location and Program Committee | Resulting Special Journal Issue
This conference brings together a community of scholars interested in the phenomenon of commitment to share and discuss ideas and findings relating to the conference theme of "Advances and Debates Surrounding Workplace Commitments." The purpose of this conference is to advance the literature by promoting leading-edge thinking on all aspects and forms of commitment in organizational contexts regardless of bases, mindsets or targets (e.g., commitment to organizations - employing or other, people, teams, occupation, goals, routines, change efforts, decisions, values, etc.).
The small size of the conference promotes opportunities for informal interaction and dialogue among attendees to facilitate networking, collaboration, the sharing of ideas, and in-depth discussions to explore issues of personal interest. Individuals from fields including organizational behavior, human resource management, industrial and organizational psychology, decision making, industrial relations, and related fields concerned with commitment are welcome to attend. We hope to see you there!
The conference will begin Friday afternoon November 5, 2010 with networking opportunities. Conference sessions begin at 8:00 a.m. Saturday, November 6th and end at noon on Sunday, November 7th. There will be a single track of presentations of a variety of lengths and formats. See the Conference Program for the complete schedule and the specific topics to be addressed. Registration is required to attend the conference events. See the Conference Registration page for details.
The conference will be held at the Blackwell Inn and Conference Center in the Fisher College of Business complex at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, USA. Columbus is located centrally in the United States and has many entertainment opportunities including the arts, theater, sports, shopping, and dining in unique settings.
