Dear Researchers,
We are excited to announce that the Humility Research Hub is entering its second year, continuing our mission to unite scholars with a shared interest in the role of humility management research.
We warmly invite you to participate in our upcoming online Research Incubator, an initiative designed to support early-stage research efforts, particularly for doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career scholars. The incubator aims to foster the development of these projects into high-quality, publishable research. In the short term, our goal is to identify common themes among the research and possibly organize a symposium at the 2025 Academy of Management Conference.
The incubator also serves as a platform to continue building a thriving micro-community of humility researchers, grounded in intellectual growth, collaboration, and mutual support.
In a world facing challenges such as regional conflicts (e.g., the Ukraine-Russia war and the war in the Middle East), large-scale corporate scandals, and rapid advancements in AI, humility is increasingly relevant. We encourage you to join us in exploring how humility can help leaders and employees navigate these complex and uncertain times.
Related topics include, but are not limited to:
- Humble Leadership, Humble Employees, and the Future Workplace
- Humility Leadership in Times of Crisis
- The Crossover Effect of Humility from Professional to Personal Spheres
- The Role of Humility in AI-involved Work Contexts
- Humility and Remote Work
- Antecedents of Leader and Coworker Humility
- The role of humility in entrepreneurship and strategy.
To enable those in other international time zones to participate, this incubator will be held online on the evening of Nov 13th, from 8:00 to 10:00 pm EST, and will be facilitated by Brad Owens (Marriott School of Business, Brigham Young University), Amy Y. Ou (Faculty of Business, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University), David R. Hekman (Leeds School of Business, University of Colorado Boulder), Michal Lehmann (Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University), Thomas Keleman (Kansas State University), Jia (Jasmine) Hu (Tsinghua University), Chad Chiu (Adelaide Business School), and Sara Hoseingholizade (University at Buffalo).
We invite you to contribute to this symposium by submitting a no more than 250-word abstract encapsulating your current work (theory, research findings, or case studies) related to the themes mentioned above or the general topic of humility in organizations and management.
Submission Details:
· Abstract Length: 250 words, including your name, e-mail address, and affiliation.
