Dotun Ayeni

UK-based Nigerian Researcher Puts Africa In The Limelight With Paper On I-deals Dotun Ayeni's research, conducted for over two years in the UK and in Nigeria, examines employer and employee perspectives on i-deals; through the point of view of participants working in service-oriented organizations. Due to advancements in technology evidenced by increased automation and a growth in demand for employees with skills in the area of critical thinking, data analytics, and problem-solving, Nigeria has witnessed glaring skills shortage, so much so that employers are doing all they can to hold on to talent, including granting and offering i-deals. "As the world of work continues to change rapidly and the employer-employee dynamic witnesses a reinvention and reimagination, I believe the management field will benefit by paying attention to nuances shaping the African experience of i-deals and its management", stated Dotun.

"Volunteering at AOM is an important service activity that benefits the community that we are all a part of. In order for your AOM community to represent you, it is important to show up and help. Volunteering at AOM has provided tremendous benefits as it expands your network and allows you the opportunity to meet smart, engaging, interesting, funny, and authentic people from across management disciplines. I can’t imagine our profession without AOM, so I will continue to volunteer in whatever capacity I can to ensure that this community continues to exist and thrive."

Sally Sledge

"Volunteering at AOM is important to me because the organization is so huge, it makes it more personal. I value the expertise and experiences of my colleagues at AOM, and have found that volunteering is a great way to meet people I otherwise would not have known. I decided to volunteer at AOM because I benefited from a volunteer. Long ago, I was part of the AOM Mentoring Program where I was matched with a mentor. She helped guide me through the process of learning all AOM had to offer. I want to pay it forward for others just as she did for me. I have benefited from volunteering at AOM as it has expanded my professional network. I now have contacts in many places due to AOM. Also I have been able to take on some leadership roles and therefore been able to continue my professional development through as an AOM volunteer. A favorite memory was when I was working the Career Services check-in table in Boston. I saw my Mentor of many years ago doing a walk and talk with a young doctoral student. This made me proud to be associated with an organization that is so supportive of early stage professionals. It also reminded me of how far I have come since the days of attending the doctoral student consortium at our annual meeting."

Kevin Rockmann

"Volunteering for AOM has been a part of my life for the last 20 years, since I co-chaired the NDSC as a young doctoral student. This work, from being a reviewer to a program chair and now an editor, is not only meaningful to me but is indeed part of who I am. We use this word "service" to connote tasks we'd rather not do but are doing anyway to help others. In each of these roles though I've been able to grow, learn, and, most importantly, connect. This is not service, this is a pleasure. To have opportunities to travel the world, make new friends, and build and innovate in new ways is incredibly fulfilling, and am I so grateful for the volunteer opportunities that have come my way. Thank you AOM!"

Angela Miles

"Volunteering with AOM has become an integral part of my academic career. I believe that volunteering is important to support growth, continuity, and collegiality. The decisions and unexpected outcomes that have inspired me to volunteer with AOM have involved collective engagement, paying it forward, and promoting and evolving the discipline. Personally, volunteering with AOM has allowed the cultivation of friendships and partnerships. Professionally, volunteering with AOM has allowed me to grow and practice in the discipline that brings me joy! My special memories of volunteering with AOM include the PhD Project and the Career Services families. The memories of the dinners, the laughter, the conversations, and the collective achievements are incentives that sustain our discipline and develops leaders."

Smriti Anand

"Volunteering at AOM is important to me because I see AOM as a large family, wherein we all need to do our part to help each other. I usually volunteer as a mentor to PhD students. This is because I remember how my mentors helped me navigate all the uncertainties that the PhD program entails. Volunteering with AOM makes me feel like I belong. It allows me to give back to the community, and also build new relationships. Special Memory: One of my mentees said, 'I will do this one day; you have inspired me to give back.'"

Sir Cary Cooper

In an episode of Oven-Ready HR, Chris Taylor talks to organisational culture and employee wellbeing expert Professor Sir Cary Cooper about hybrid working and how the ‘great resignation’ has a lot to do with poor leadership.

Cary remarks that a significant driver of the so called ‘great resignation’ was in part employees’ dissatisfaction with their boss. He thinks this has led some in HR to think about whether they have managers with the right skills in place. He also takes us back to the psychological contract and tells us to look at hybrid in a different way.

Each AOM meeting is a tremendous opportunity to learn the cutting edge state of the field of management research, both in terms of theory and methods. That learning opportunity not only allows scholars to stay abreast with the latest developments, but also to see, at a glance, where the field is most wanting and needs improvement. This is a crucial source of inspiration for meaningful academic contributions."

“Doing the virtual interview was strange but comfortable. It's hard to get a sense of the people and place without being there in person but doing the interview at home had its advantages. There were more "backstage" opportunities to prepare myself and "turn off" for a minute. If I were interviewing in person, I would be doing that in a bathroom or in a corner somewhere. At home, I could snuggle with my cat in between meetings.”

AOM Insights helps us to make sure that our ideas are not languishing in a dusty library, but are living and breathing in powerful conversations among our colleagues, and are able to have a greater impact. For us, AOM Insights helped us to take our ideas about paradoxes and paradox mindsets and get more people to engage with and build on these insights.”

I appreciate that they have made efforts to put us in touch with their PR team and promote our work, as well as provide materials helpful in my institution's own promotion efforts.
