Submissions are now open
The conference will be a mix of invited (30%) and peer reviewed (70%) presentations. Individuals interested in participating on the conference program need to submit an abstract for consideration. Proposals may be for a single paper presentation but other formats (e.g., debates, panel discussions, round table discussions, symposia of related papers) are welcome and encouraged.
Submissions may address any aspect of commitment in organizational contexts, at any level of analysis, with a preference given to papers that (a) advance the commitment literature by providing new insights, perspectives, or methodologies and/or (b) address the conference theme – Rethinking workplace bonds in the contemporary employment context (see the “about the conference page” for more details on the theme).
The deadline for submissions is February 15, 2025. The program committee will evaluate the submitted abstracts on a competitive basis. Submitters will be notified of program decisions by mid March, 2025.
Submissions must reflect original work that has not been previously presented or published or accepted for presentation or publication at the time of submission. The same paper should not be submitted to both the 2025 Conference on Commitment and the 2025 Academy of Management meetings. The submission of an abstract indicates agreement by all listed presenters to attend the conference should the submission be accepted.
Each submission should contain the following:
- A cover page containing the names and contact information (including email) for all presenters, the format of the proposed presentation (paper, symposium, panel discussion, debate, etc.), and the requested amount of time for the presentation or session.
- A three-page (maximum) description of the proposed presentation. Abstracts should be double-spaced with 1” margins and use 12 pt Times New Roman or similar size font. The cover page, references, and figures/tables do not count toward the 3 page limit.
Please submit proposals by emailing it to the conference organizational team at: commitmentconference@ru.nl.
