UCIRHRP Sponsored Competitive Student Papers – Due October 1, 2008
The University Council of Industrial Relations and Human Resource Programs, UCIRHRP, is sponsoring a student paper competition at the 61st LERA Annual Meeting. New developments in employment relations, organizational behavior, and social movements call for a closer look at emergent processes, outcomes and organizational forms. The motivation for this special call for papers is to reflect the diversity of theoretical and methodological approaches to researching emergent phenomena in the field. Examples include, but are by no means restricted to new forms of labor market institutions; diversity in organizations; social movements; and international/transnational actors and organizations. UCIRHRP will offer a monetary award to the top papers chosen for this session. More information
