This Professional Development Workshop (PDW) conceptualizes work and research productivity as a process that can consistently and continuously be improved through learning. Thus, the main goal of this PDW is to help develop an awareness of the processes used by prolific faculty. Although most PDWs use esteemed senior scholars as panelists, we propose a model that uses peer junior faculty members who have established track records of productivity and bring new perspectives on this topic. Presenters will discuss their work habits and how they go about their work (e.g., time allocation, co-authorships, writing blocks, and revise-and-resubmit strategies) as well as other “life” factors that influence their productivity (e.g., exercise, work/family balance). This session uses a number of formats including individual presentations, panel discussions as a group, small group roundtables where participants are able to have conversations with each of the panelists, and a keynote address. We encourage Ph.D. students, as well as faculty across all stages of their careers—Assistant, Associate, and Full—to join this session, to collectively reflect on, learn from, and share productivity-related strategies. This PDW is organized by members of the OB Division’s Making Connections Committee (MCC).
