RFP (Request For Proposals) for Gratitude Research
UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center is very pleased to announce a recent $5.9 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation to undertake a three-year project: “Expanding the Science and Practice of Gratitude." In collaboration with Dr. Robert Emmons from UC Davis, we seek to expand the scientific understanding of gratitude, promote research-based practices in institutions like schools and hospitals, and engage the public in a wide-reaching cultural conversation about the role of gratitude in civil society.
The first component of our project is a $3 million research initiative, focused on understanding the impact of gratitude on health and well-being, developmental science and social relationships. We would appreciate your help in soliciting research proposals to be funded by this grant. Would you be willing to publicize our request for proposals (RFP) in your networks?
The RFP link is here [1]. An overview of the project is here [2]. The deadline for the Letter of Intent (LOI) is February 15, 2012 at 5 pm PST and instructions for applicants can be found here [3].
Feel free to get back to us with questions; direct your queries to gratitude@berkeley.edu, or call 510-642-2490.

Call for Papers
Call for papers: European Management Journal, Special Issue on National Context in Work-Life Research. Deadline: March 15, 2012.
Guest Editors: Ariane OLLIER-MALATERRE, Monique VALCOUR, Laura DEN DULK, Ellen ERNST KOSSEK
Management research is increasingly devoting efforts to the adequate consideration of context. This special issue focuses on a distinctive dimension of context, national context, and more specifically on the role that the structural and cultural dimensions of national context play in work-life/work-family research. Work-life/work-family research is particularly sensitive to national context, to the extent that national context may influence research at:
- The macro level (public policy),
- The meso level (HR practices, work-life culture, workgroups dynamics),
- The micro level (individual attitudes and behaviors), and
- The epistemic levels (production of knowledge).
This special issue aims at making a contribution to work-life research and beyond, by inviting manuscripts that theorize national context and/or present robust methods to capture the influence of national context in work-life research.
We invite manuscripts addressing the following questions:
1) How can national context be conceptualized in work-life/work-family research?
2) What does national context explain in work-life/work-family research?
We welcome conceptual and empirical manuscripts that make a strong theoretical contribution as to how national context can be conceptualized in work-life/work-family research and/or a strong methodological contribution as to how national context can be apprehended in comparative work-life/work-family research.
Manuscripts developing or applying multilevel frameworks, manuscripts spanning disciplinary boundaries, and qualitative manuscripts are particularly welcome.
Deadline for submissions is March 15, 2012.
Publication intended for mid 2013.
Manuscripts to be considered for this special issue should follow the directions described on the EMJ website and be submitted online: please refer to http://ees.elsevier.com/emj. When submitting, please choose “Special Issue: Nat. context & work-life” as the paper type.

The Henry Kaufman Conference on Religious Traditions and Business Behavior
The Center for Financial Policy at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business announces a Call for Papers and Proposals for the Henry Kaufman Conference on Religious Traditions and Business Behavior. This conference explores two central questions in the relationship between the world’s major religious traditions and the business behavior of adherents to those traditions:
First, what do the world’s major organized religious traditions – Protestantism, Catholicism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism – prescribe about business and financial ethics and behavior?
Second, how and why have business and financial actors seriously compromised the leading religious traditions of their cultures?
By interrogating these questions, the conference will yield insights valuable to contemporary business and religious leaders about abiding questions such as: Do the scriptures/doctrines of these religions appear to have had a marked effect on financial behavior? Does religion appear to be a more potent or less potent influence than business ethics courses in fostering sound, ethical, and socially responsible financial behavior? How can religion best be promulgated to make financial behavior more sound, ethical, and socially responsible?
Authors are invited to submit papers or proposals for papers related to these questions.
Note: When submitting a paper, please include a title page with an abstract, names of authors/affiliations, and contact information for the submitting author.
Scholars will be invited to participate in two discussion sessions in College Park, MD, prior to the Spring 2013 conference. Further instructions will be communicated to the scholars at the time of proposal selection.

Special Issue Call for Papers: Age in the Workplace: Challenges and Opportunities
Special Issue Editors:
Franco Fraccaroli University of Trento
Donald M. Truxillo Portland State University
It is estimated that by 2050, the population of older workers (55-64) in Europe will grow up to 60% (Carone & Costello, 2006). It is estimated that by 2018, approximately one quarter of the U.S. workforce will be age 55 or older (Tossi, 2009). This older, more age diverse workforce is raising new research questions. Researchers are examining how age affects a range of important work outcomes such as job performance (e.g., Ng & Feldman, 2008), motivation (e.g., Kanfer & Ackerman, 2004), career trajectories (e.g., Wang, 2007), age stereotypes (Posthuma & Campion, 2009), and job attitudes (e.g., Ng & Feldman, 2010).
These shifts in age composition increase the importance of understanding the role of age in the workplace. The academic literature has begun to address age in the workplace in many respects, although advances are needed in terms of theory and practice.
The goals of this special issue on age in the workplace are to advance theory and research in this field and to showcase top research from around the world.
Initial draft of papers due: March 31, 2012
Initial decision to authors: July 31, 2012
Expected publication: 2013
Note that the special issue is open and competitive. All papers will undergo a double-blind, peer-review process.
In general, manuscripts should be limited to 7,000 words not including references, tables, and figures.

META- ANALYSIS REQUEST FOR PAPERS!
Dear SIOP Colleagues:
I am conducting a meta-analysis and would like to include any articles (working, in press, published) that you have written regarding team development initiatives (team training, team building, team coaching, team improvement efforts, etc.). Below is a more thorough description of the goals of this effort.
Specific Study Description: Several of my students and I are working on a broad meta-analysis that examines the effectiveness of team development initiatives. Our goal is to be as inclusive as possible to update and extend previous team training meta-analyses. If you (or your students, colleagues, etc) have any working papers that include data on team training, team building, team coaching, etc. that would be relevant, would you consider sharing them with us for this meta-analysis? We will, of course, keep any unpublished papers confidential. Please send any relevant efforts to us (TDIMeta@gmail.com).
Thank you in advance for your cooperation with this. We will keep you informed of the results.
Sincerely,
Eduardo Salas, Ph.D.
