Organizational Science Fall Colloquium Features Interdisciplinary Presentations

by Ashley Andrew

On Nov. 19, 2009, the Organizational Science (OS) program hosted its first Organizational Science Fall Colloquium. The program included research talks from several OS faculty members and OS student research assistants. The event offered a way for the organizational science community to come together and talk about the some of the exciting research projects currently underway. This year’s program included:

Assessing Organizational Integrity in the Pharmaceutical Industry, presented by: Dr. Denis Arnold, Dr. Tammy Beck, and Samantha Paustian-Underdahl
Work and Health under Market Transition: A Study of Psychological and Physical Wellbeing in Urban China, presented by: Dr. Yang Cao
Willing and Able to Fake Emotions: A Closer Examination of the Link between Emotional Dissonance and Employee Well-Being, presented by: Dr. Doug Pugh

Judging from post-event feedback from faculty members and students alike, the event was a resounding success. Most of all, it provided an opportunity to showcase interdisciplinary research efforts while continuing to build and strengthen the inclusive, cohesive culture that characterizes OS at UNC Charlotte.
