Field interventions offer significant opportunities for scholars and organizations alike, as they represent the “gold standard” of research designs, providing a rigorous tool to establish cause-effect relations, which can be translated into evidence-based tools for organizations. Yet, researchers are often reluctant to engage in field interventions. One reason for this is their complexity, as researchers must navigate the task of synchronizing organizational objectives with methodological rigor and the necessity to make a theoretical contribution. Providing an overview of key methodological, theoretical, and practical success factors to conduct and publish DEI field interventions can advance innovation in DEI research and make it more appealing to researchers. This PDW is designed to facilitate an exchange of best practices and cutting-edge methods among DEI field intervention experts and interested scholars. Our goal is to provide participants with essential tools and inspiration for impactful and innovative DEI research. The program includes a keynote presentation, a moderated panel discussion, and interactive roundtables. Participants will benefit from practical expert advice on DEI research and engage in discussions with both DEI field intervention experts and peers. This interaction aims to enhance their understanding of effectively designing and executing DEI field interventions, with an eye towards achieving high impact and securing publication in top management journals. The PDW welcomes all interested participants.
