Every manager wants to nurture their best employees, but the challenge is doing that without alienating less talented employees.

Doctoral candidate Anand van Zelderen, KU Leuven, Belgium, and his colleagues Dr. Nicky Dries, also with KU Leuven, and Dr. Elise Marescaux, IESEG School of Management, France, discuss how best to do this in their recent study, “Managers should remain secret about talent status.” Their research was selected by the conference program committee as one of the top posters submitted to the 2019 SIOP Annual Conference.

The Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP), Division 14 of the APA and an organizational affiliate of APS, and the SIOP Foundation are currently seeking nominations for the Dunnette Prize, honoring Professor Marvin D. Dunnette. It carries a cash award of $50,000.

Beginning on June 20 (and through July 19), all SIOP Members and Fellows will have the opportunity to vote for two bylaws amendments relating to the Executive Board. In accordance with SIOP Bylaws Article IX (Amendments) Section 1, a notice of these proposed bylaw changes was emailed to the last known address of SIOP Members at least 30 days before the scheduled vote. 

The first proposed amendment is an important change to the SIOP bylaws that would create a new elected officer position. The second proposed bylaws amendment clarifies the eligibility of currently serving officers to stand for election.
