The Advancement of Replications Initiative in Management (ARIM; arimweb.org) invites doctoral students and their faculty mentors to collectively conduct and publish replications of the following studies:
-
Schweitzer, M. E., Ordóñez, L., & Douma, B. (2004). Goal setting as a motivator of unethical behavior. Academy of Management Journal, 47(3), 422-432.
-
Hammond, M. M., Schyns, B., Lester, G. V., Clapp-Smith, R., & Thomas, J. S. (2023). The romance of leadership: Rekindling the fire through replication of Meindl and Ehrlich. The Leadership Quarterly, 34(4), 101538.
-
Kim, M. J., Shaver, J. M., & Funk, R. J. (2022). From mass to motion: Conceptualizing and measuring the dynamics of industry clusters. Strategic Management Journal, 43(4), 822-846.
ARIM will coordinate multiple systematic exact and constructive replications of each of these studies by up to 10 teams of doctoral students and their faculty mentors. Teams will execute a coordinated set of replication studies starting this summer. In the fall, teams will share, analyze, and interpret the collected data before jointly submitting a corresponding paper for publication in a top management journal.
A member of the ARIM executive board who has experience conducting and publishing replication research will lead each of the three cohorts of student/mentor teams. The authors of the replicated studies have indicated their general support of these replication efforts.
If you are interested in participating or learning more about the 2024 ARIM Doctoral Student Replication Initiative (https://www.arimweb.org/replications-initiative), please apply using the following online survey (https://iastate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dbWWiTPFEJiFOom).
We are looking forward to working with you. The collective execution of coordinated replication studies will help address the lack of replication research in our field and at the same time represents a unique experiential learning and publication opportunity for doctoral students (Schwab et al., 2023).
Thank you for considering this invitation and we look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Andreas Schwab (aschwab@iastate.edu)
