Professor Dr. Ying Hong awarded the Scholarly Achievement Award by the Academy of Management
The DeGroote School of Business would like to congratulate Dr. Ying Hong for winning the 2010 scholarly achievement award for her co-authored paper entitled Do they see eye to eye? Management and employee perspective of high performance work systems and influences processes on service quality.
This award comes from the Academy of Management, a professional association that comprises over 18,876 scholars from colleges, universities, and research institutions across 101 nations.
Dr. Hong collaborated with Hui Liao (Maryland), Keiko Toya (Doshisha) and David P. Lepark (New Jersey) to differentiate management and employee's perspectives of high performance work systems. The team examined how the two competing perspectives relate to an employee's individual performance in a service context.
Hong's research was selected for this award because her paper dealt with a subject matter significant to the field of human resources. Furthermore, her findings advanced existing research on high performance work systems. Lastly, the award committee felt there is a strong likelihood that the paper will be widely cited in future published work.
Dr. Hong will be accepting this award in Montreal later on this summer.
