The AOM 2024 Conference
The AOM 2024 conference is hosted by the Academy of Management (AOM) and is held in Chicago, United States, from 9 to 13 August 2024. This is the 84th annual meeting, and the theme is “Innovating for the Future: Policy, Purpose, and Organization,” which invites members to examine the interplay of innovation, policy, and purpose as a lens for rethinking conventional ways of leading, managing, and organizing. Innovating for the future beckons scholars to broaden their thinking and creativity about what needs to change within organizations to address the persistent problems and opportunities of our time. The unparalleled level of complexity in today’s environment provides an opportunity for AOM’s ecosystem of scholars, educators, and practitioners, to come together to make a compelling difference.
Academy of Management is the preeminent professional association of management and organization scholars, with global membership, including professors and doctoral students in university business schools, scholars in related social sciences and other fields, and practitioners who value the creation and application of knowledge. Founded in 1936, the association has nearly 18,000 members in a global community in more than 120 countries.
Dr. Mengyao Fu from AIFT presented her research paper “Untangling the Recursive Relationship Between Workplace Surveillance Usage and Employee Performance.”In this study, the authors deliver empirical evidence testifying to a recursive relationship between surveillance technology usage and workplace performance, thereby aiding in reconciling controversial findings within extant literature, unlike previous work delving into the unidirectional effect of autonomy or control on boundary spanners’ performance. To further elucidate this relationship, the authors divide the recursive relationship into asymmetrical and symmetrical categories encompassing four paradigms: positive sustaining, negative sustaining, forward suppressing, and backward suppressing. By scrutinizing collaborative scenarios involving boundary spanners in a workplace environment, we illuminate the existence of a feedback loop from workplace surveillance due to the recursive influence of prior and posterior beliefs. Insights from this study bear implications for both theory and practice by highlighting the recursive impact between surveillance technology usage and workplace performance. This paper was accepted by AOM 2024，and included in AOM 2024 proceedings.
