The purpose of the OB SIG is to develop an ongoing and constructive dialogue among organizational behaviour scholars and practitioners to conduct research that is relevant for management theory and practice in the contemporary world. The OB SIG aims at promoting research and networking interests in individual and group behaviour in the organizational context by providing a wide-ranging, engaged and internationally-focused forum to discuss and develop research and practice in the field. In addition to well-established topics the OB SIG is open to and wants to encourage submissions to different new streams of research in private, public and non-profit organizations.

Silvia Profili , European University of Rome, silvia.profili@unier.it
ST09_02 – Team Performance Management
The standing track welcomes papers that study individuals in teams (e.g., how multiple-team membership impacts on individual learning and adaptation, how individual performance is influenced by team dynamics), teams as units (dynamic views on team processes, antecedents and consequences of team performance, team emergent states, team training, empirically supported team interventions, virtual teams) as well as the inter-team dynamics in larger social systems (e.g., multi-team systems dynamics and effectiveness, multiparty systems). The research topic is inclusive and we expect papers that use or combine theoretical insights from a variety of disciplines.

ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR SIG TRACKS
T09_05 Big Data, Data Analytics and new forms of Work
Fast paced changes in technology, computing and communication facilitate changes in the work environment. Many firms have introduced analytics based of big data to create efficiencies and enhance their agility. While many of these technologies are performance enhancing at the firm level, the impacts on employees are not well explored yet. As a result, many of these technologies enabled work practices have unknown consequences on health and well-being of employees, their willingness to embrace change and other work relevant employee and organizational level outcomes. The track aims to study these relationships with respect to core constructs in the OB/HRM domain.
