In light of recent challenges surrounding the state of scientific rigor and transparency in OB research, the need for a PDW tailored to address these issues has never been more crucial. This workshop will offer a springboard for conversation around these issues with the goal of providing clarity and insight on the roles of professional organizations, journals, and author teams in ensuring rigor and transparency, and in generating strategies and best practices to uphold scientific rigor in the field. The workshop will include two 2-hour sessions. The first session will focus on the role of field leaders in maintaining and improving the quality of OB research. It will begin with a distinguished panel of recent and current journal editors—who also held relevant leadership positions in AOM and APA—sharing insights on the actions professional bodies can take to promote and enforce scientific rigor. This panel will be followed by a Q&A and roundtable discussion. The second two-hour session will delve into the experiences of researchers in navigating these issues when collaborating with others. This panel will include established scholars at various career stages to explore topics such as managing coauthor responsibilities and strategies to maximize transparency. This panel will also be followed by a Q&A and roundtable discussion. We hope this PDW empowers researchers to bolster the scientific rigor of their work and foster an environment of accountability and trust within their research teams.
