My research journey was completely unexpected. I never envisioned becoming a professor, or still working after more than 40 years. I discuss this journey in terms of how events unfolded without much planning, in hopes of encouraging others to accomplish more than they believe they can. Since I have had a long career, I also discuss some ways in which the field of management has changed and how these present challenges to our field in the future. It is my contention that the field benefits most from good scholars doing good work on topics that interest them, and not by scholars learning how to game the system or worrying too much about which journals “count.” I also discuss some differences I experience being associated with both the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) and the Academy of Management. I conclude on an optimistic note pointing out various efforts to address some of the challenges I outlined.

穿越不断变化的景观的惊喜之旅


我的研究之旅完全出乎意料。我从未想过成为一名教授，或者在 40 多年后仍在工作。我从事件如何在没有太多计划的情况下展开来讨论这段旅程，希望鼓励其他人完成比他们认为自己能完成的更多的事情。由于我的职业生涯很长，我还讨论了管理领域的一些变化，以及这些变化如何在未来给我们的领域带来挑战。我的观点是，该领域最受益的是优秀的学者在他们感兴趣的主题上所做的出色工作，而不是学者们学习如何玩弄系统或过于担心哪些期刊“重要”。我还讨论了我与工业与组织心理学协会 （SIOP） 和管理学会相关的一些差异。最后，我乐观地指出了为应对我所概述的一些挑战所做的各种努力。
