This PDW aims to stimulate research advances on the psychological
foundations of management. We ask: Does a “good side” of CEO hubris
exist? On the other hand, what is the “bad side” of CEO humility? How
will entrepreneurial leaders’ psychological biases be reflected in
judgments that shape new venture formation and failure? How can
corporate leaders dominate overambitious projects that frequently
generate instances of corporate social irresponsibility? Answers to
these questions are crucial in order to advise managers of the dangers
of psychological bias and, more importantly, to encourage practices
that promote effectiveness in decision processes. The three-hour PDW
is a suitable chance to discuss theoretical and empirical challenges
in the psychological foundations of management and to find novel
approaches to investigate these challenges. The PDW brings together an
invited panel of distinguish scholars to guide roundtable interactions.
Pre-registration is required for this workshop. To register online,
please visit

workshop organizer at
pmpicone@gmail.com to obtain the approval code.
The deadline to register online is July 1, 2015.
The PDW is aimed to building a community of scholars and researchers
devoted to explore such important themes of the psychological
foundation of management as Self-Evaluation, Hubris and Humility!
We look forward to seeing you in Vancouver in August!
Best regards,
Massimo, Yi and Giambattista
