Dr. Jo-Ida C. Hansen and Dr. John P. Campbell Career Achievement in Mentoring Award

The Dr. Jo-Ida C. Hansen and Dr. John P. Campbell Career Achievement in Mentoring Award recognizes an individual who has contributed across their career to I-O Psychology through excellence in mentoring.

Mentoring is an important component in the development of professionals in any field. Mentoring can take many forms and involve formal and informal mentor-mentee relationships. Mentoring can occur in many different settings, and both academics and practitioners may be effective mentors. For this award, the mentoring should be focused on the mentee’s development and success as an I-O psychologist. Nominees may have mentored students, early-career professionals, or colleagues in academic or practice settings.

Excellence in mentoring I-O psychologists includes (a) providing opportunities to engage in research; develop and implement evidence-based programs in organizations; make presentations; and write papers, corporate communications, and publications;(b) giving feedback and shaping behaviors that lead to professional excellence; (c) helping mentees develop professional contacts/networks and navigate organizational hierarchies; (d) nominating/endorsing mentees for professional opportunities, jobs, and awards; and (e) encouraging mentees’ involvement in professional activities.

The recipient is given a crystal award and a cash prize of $2,000.
