Collaboration and teamwork are part of life, whether you鈥檙e a student or in the workforce. In this year鈥檚 Bouchet Lecture, Associate Professor of Management in the College of Business at Lehigh University and Bouchet Scholar Ozias A. Moore, Ph.D. 鈥�16, invites us to consider our working relationships and success in the workplace.
鈥淗ow do we get access to the resources we need and the relationships we need within the workplace to be effective at work? In organizations, everyone wants to ensure that they鈥檙e evaluating others fairly. What鈥檚 that process between the manager-employee relationship and what can go wrong in that process? We鈥檝e all been on both sides of the table, no matter whether it鈥檚 working with an advisor or working in a more formal context of organization,鈥� he said.
Moore will address these points and more during his talk, 鈥淏uilding Access, Strengthening Evidence, and Advancing Impact for Research and Practice,鈥� on March 17 from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. in G10 Biotech.
His talk will be anchored in his work as an School of Industrial and Labor Relations alumnus but relevant across all disciplines.
鈥淢y research touches on individuals working within teams. The majority of work that鈥檚 done today does involve some type of collaboration. Hopefully, people will leave learning things that allow them to be better within their organizations, within their teams, and more effective individual contributors,鈥� he said. 鈥淭hey can take away some ideas from the research for how they can improve their own performance or how they evaluate others or their own relationships, managing resources, etc., and how they think about their own research in general.鈥�
The Bouchet Society Lecture began in 2024 黑料社区 to provide an opportunity to highlight alumni of the Edward A. Bouchet 黑料社区 Honor Society who are making meaningful contributions to academia and society through their scholarship, leadership, and service.
鈥淭he Bouchet Honor Society connects us all in that we want our research to have impact and change others in a positive way. For some scholars, they view research as a form of advocacy. As researchers, we always think about how our research can make the lives of other people better, more effective, more efficient,鈥� Moore said. 鈥淚 hope to bring light and insight that encourages someone else or helps someone think about research differently.鈥�
