To better ensure its development, RIPCO has created since 2019 a research day open to academics from around the world. The objective is to offer a place for exchange and debate on the major themes of organizational behavior. The proposed papers can be situated at the different traditional levels of analysis of OB: the individual, groups, organizations, as well as the links within and between these different levels. Theoretical work is encouraged as well as empirical research, which may adopt qualitative as well as quantitative methodologies. Prizes are awarded for the best papers selected by the journal's editorial board. Each year, in addition to offering the possibility of contributing to any theme within the field, the event focuses on a particular theme.
Thus, the 2019 edition was dedicated to emerging trends in OB including, in particular, neuroscience, humanistic management, emotional intelligence, artificial intelligence, time. This day was also an opportunity to celebrate the 25th anniversary of RIPCO through a ceremony that rewarded the articles that have had the most impact on the scientific community since the journal's inception. These articles were republished in a "special 25 years" issue. The figures for this first day of face-to-face research at the CNIT de La Défense in Paris were very encouraging: 60 participants, 30 papers presented and 54 contributors from 10 countries and 35 academic institutions. They reveal a real expectation in the specific field of OB.
After the success of this first edition, RIPCO organized online on June 15, 2021 its second research day more specifically dedicated to positive organizational behaviors. 44 proposals of communication were selected and presented. They came from 85 researchers from 10 countries and 62 different academic institutions. They were listened to by 235 participants.
The editorial team is currently working on the proposal for the 3rd day, which will take place during 2022. The focus will be on organizational behavior in the face of health challenges: a new post-covid era. |
