The Kenneth E. Clark Research Award

The Center for Creative Leadership is sponsoring the Kenneth E. Clark Research Award, our annual competition to recognize outstanding unpublished papers by undergraduate and graduate students.

The winner of this award will receive a prize of $1,500 and a trip to the center to present the paper in a colloquium. 

Submissions may be either empirically or conceptually based. The contents of the paper should focus on some aspect of leadership or leadership development.
Submissions will be judged by the following criteria: (a) the degree to which the paper addresses issues and trends that are significant to the study of leadership; (b) the extent to which the paper shows consideration of the relevant theoretical and empirical literature; (c) the extent to which the paper makes a conceptual or empirical contribution; (d) the implications of the research for application to leadership identification and development. Papers will be reviewed anonymously by a panel of researchers associated with the Center.

Papers must be authored and submitted only by graduate or undergraduate students. Entrants must provide a letter from a faculty member certifying that the paper was written by a student. Entrants should submit four copies of an article-length paper. The name of the author(s) should appear only on the title page of the paper. The title page should also show the authors affiliations, mailing addresses, and telephone numbers.

Papers are limited to 30 double-spaced pages, including title page, abstract, tables, figures, notes, and references. Papers should be prepared according to the current edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.

Entries (accompanied by faculty letters) must be received by September 5, 2003. The winning paper will be announced by November 7, 2003.

4th International Conference on Emotions and Organizational Life

Researchers are invited to submit papers for the 4th Conference on Emotions and Organizational Life, to be held at Birkbeck College, London, England, June 2729, 2004.

Papers are invited on any topic of relevance to the study of emotions at work, including the determinants of emotion, the nature and description of emotion, processes and effects of emotion at the organizational, team, and individual levels. Both theoretical and empirical papers are welcome. Papers that take a multidisciplinary perspective will be especially welcome.

The deadline for receipt of papers is March 31, 2004. Papers should be sent to the addresses indicated below and will be subject to blind review. The format is to follow the submission guidelines for the Academy of Management.

We encourage innovative submissions, but all must satisfy the requirements of rigorous scholarly discourse. A brief statement of your preference for presentation format should also accompany submission of papers. It is anticipated that a wide variety of delivery styles will be used, including panel discussion, workshops, and traditional presentations.

It is intended that the conference papers will be considered for inclusion in an edited book of papers that will help to define further this emerging field. Authors who will be unable to attend the conference are also invited to submit their papers to be considered for inclusion in the book. These papers will be available for work-shopping at the conference and will be subject to the same review process as the conference papers.

Papers for the fourth conference are to be submitted electronically using any recognised word processor software (e.g. Word, WordPerfect). Papers from the US and Canada should be sent to Wilfred J. Zerbe, e-mail: wilfred.zerbe@haskayne.ucalgary.ca. Papers from elsewhere should be sent to Neal M. Ashkanasy, The University of Queensland Business School, e-mail: N.Ashkanasy@uq.edu.au.  For further information about the conference, please contact Neal Ashkanasy: (+617) 3365-7499, Fax: (+617) 3365-6988, or Wilf Zerbe (403) 220-3005, Fax: (403) 282-0095.
