| This workshop is for those interested in the role of human capital or "people" in firm value creation. Within management, human capital is examined from a trinity of disciplinary perspectives (economics, psychology, sociology). Although not often discussed, each discipline has unique views about what human capital is, what theoretical assumptions hold, and what constitutes theoretical and methodological "excellence" for multilevel scholarship. On the one hand, these differences provide untapped opportunities to improve the rigor of human capital scholarship. On the other hand, if unacknowledged, these differences can cause miscommunication during research and publication processes. The purpose of this PDW is to build awareness about these disciplinary differences and gain the knowledge required to navigate these divides as researchers and reviewers. The focus will be on acknowledging and potentially spanning disciplinary traditions to capture the insights that each discipline can offer. Respected scholars (Diane Burton, <st1:placename w:st="on">Cornell</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Univ.</st1:placetype>; Steve Kozlowski, <st1:state w:st="on">Michigan</st1:state> St. Univ.; Clint Chadwick, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Univ.</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Kansas</st1:placename></st1:place>) will walk participants through the theoretical, methodological, and epistemological traditions of their discipline relative to human capital. Then, we will dialogue with a panel of senior scholars about the challenges of conducting multidisciplinary human capital scholarship and seeing it through to publication. This panel includes John Delery, Univ. of Arkansas; Joseph Mahoney, Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Patrick Wright, Cornell Univ.; Jay Barney, Ohio St. Univ.; and Steve Kozlowski, Michigan St. Univ. Registrations will be limited to 50 participants. There is no fee for this PDW.
