2009 RHR Kendall Award

The Canadian Society for Industrial Organizational Psychology in collaboration with RHR is sponsoring the RHR Kendall Award, our annual competition to recognize outstanding papers by undergraduate and graduate CSIOP student members. The winner of this award will receive a prize of $1,000. The award is named in honour of Dr. Lorne Kendall, a Canadian psychologist and member of CPA whose work on job satisfaction and various psychometric issues contributed greatly to the field of Industrial Organizational Psychology.

All papers, posters, and presentations accepted in any part of the CSIOP program of the annual convention of CPA submitted by graduate or undergraduate students are eligible. To be considered for the award students most submit a full paper as outlined below. The work must have been carried out by a student but may be part of a larger research program directed by someone else. The student must be first author on the paper submitted and be at the conference to present the work.

Papers will be reviewed anonymously by three CSIOP members representing both industry and academia. Submissions will be judged by the following criteria:

  1. Quality of conceptual background
  2. Clarity of problem definition
  3. Methodological rigour (omitted for theoretical/review papers)
  4. Appropriateness of interpretations/conclusion
  5. Clarity of presentation

Entrants must submit a summary paper that adheres to these entry guidelines and provide a letter (e-mail acceptable) from a faculty member certifying that the paper was written by a student. The name of the author(s) should appear only on the title page of the paper. The title page should also show the authors' affiliations, mailing addresses, e-mail and telephone numbers. Papers are to be no more than 15 double-spaced pages, including title page, abstract, tables, figures, notes, and references. Papers should be prepared according to the current edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.

Entries (papers and letters from the faculty members) must be received by Friday April 24 2009. Winning papers will be announced at the CSIOP business meeting at the CPA Conference in Halifax. Entries should be submitted with the subject field indicating “Kendall Award” electronically to Dr. Kibeom Lee at: kibeom@ucalgary.ca
