Work Teams 1996 University of North Texas Symposium on Work Teams
The fourth Annual UNT Symposium on Work Teams will focus on the broad topic of work teams and other collaborative work designs. Papers are invited for review on such team topics as: implementation and development, empowerment and maturity, leadership, culture transformation for team implementation, compensation and reward systems, typologies of teams, peer review, virtual teams, measuring performance, decision making and problem solving, the relationship with quality, facilitation, changing roles, education, and interteam relationships.
The papers/presentations should be conceptual in nature, such as theory work. Empirical information may be used to illustrate the theoretical concepts and relationships, but not as the central focus of the work. Papers must be postmarked by February 1, 1996. Reviews will be completed by April and feedback sent to authors. Selected papers will be presented May 29-31, 1996 at the Symposium in Dallas, Texas. Ten papers will be selected for presentation in plenary sessions. Symposium papers will be screened for inclusion in volume 4 of the JAI Press series: Advances in Interdisciplinary Studies of Work Teams. Other papers will be invited as poster presentations (emperical papers may be submitted specifically for posters).
Use the American Psychological Association Publication Manual, fourth edition for submission format. Papers should range between 25 and 50 double spaced pages.
