Annette Towler
Chair of the External Awards Subcommittee
Award Winner
Gary Latham, Secretary of State Professor of Organizational Behavior at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, is the recipient of the 2006 Michael R. Losey Human Resource Research Award. Latham received the honor in June from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) at its annual conference in Washington DC. The Losey Award recognizes human resource researchers and professionals whose work significantly advances the field of human resource management. The honor includes $50,000 as recognition for Latham’s contributions and research accomplishments, which may help to facilitate future research projects.
Latham is the third SIOP member to receive the Losey Award. Previously, Edward Lawler III of the University of Southern California and Frank Schmidt of the University of Iowa were presented the prestigious honor in 2002 and 2005 respectively.
