The Organizational Neuroscience and Biology Interest Group (NeuB) is dedicated to using neuroscience and biology knowledge and approaches at different levels in organizations, as well as promoting linkages to management practice

 

We encourage knowledge generation through theoretical propositions and/or empirical evidence pertaining to the neural and biological mechanisms associated with behavior in the workplace. Concurrently, the interest group seeks to understand how the environment, culture, and institutions can affect organizational actors’ nervous system functioning. By considering neuroscience and biology at different levels of analysis in organizations, we encourage interdisciplinarity and multi-methods research. Moreover, we stress ethical considerations when using neuroscience and biology technology in workplace research.

NEUB is a vibrant and expanding network of scholars whose passion is to advance, disseminate, and apply knowledge from neuroscience and biology to understanding organizational phenomena. Although NEUB is relatively new, we are rapidly expanding and include faculty, doctoral students, and practitioners. We are a truly global community with members from across the globe and different time zones.


In addition to expanding neuroscientific and biological knowledge to organizations, we are also committed to applying this knowledge to teaching, consistent with the Academy of Management Vision 2030. At last year’s Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management in Copenhagen, the leadership of the Academy of Management called for assessing the impact of our scholarship on management education. NEUB yields to this call and is striving to play a pivotal role in showcasing the role of neuroscience and biology in management education. 


NEUB members can also incorporate and engage artificial intelligence in their scholarship, particularly colleagues who explore the neural foundations of creativity and innovation.


We encourage you to join our vibrant and expanding community of scholars and practitioners. We are a diverse community as reflected in our committee membership and in the activities we organized. 


For those who are already members of our Interest Group, I encourage you to volunteer for the different positions on our committees, particularly in helping to increase our membership. 


For those who are not members yet, I encourage you to join our vibrant and diverse community of scholars and practitioners to make a difference not only in the creation, dissemination, and application of knowledge from neuroscience and biology in organizations, but to also contribute to helping our Interest Group become a full division and fulfill the overall mission of the Academy of Management. We invite you to join our activities during this year’s Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management in Philadelphia (July 31-August 4).


We look forward to strengthening our Interest Group.
