ROSABETH MOSS KANTER AWARD WINNER ANNOUNCED

Congratulations to Alison Konrad and Yang Yang whose article "Is using work-life interface benefits a career-limiting move? An examination of women, men, lone parents, and parents with partners"  in the Journal of Organizational Behavior was selected as the recipient of the 2013 Rosabeth Moss Kanter Award for Excellence in Work-Family Research!

Named in honor of Rosabeth Moss Kanter, who has been identified as the most influential contributor to modern literature on work and family, the Kanter Award is given for the best research paper published during the year. No applications or nominations are accepted. The finalist articles were selected through a rigorous process involving nomination and review by a committee of over 60 leading scholars. This year, seven finalists were selected from over 2500 articles published in 2012 in 77 leading English-language journals from around the world. 

The Center for Families at Purdue University and the Boston College Center for Work & Family developed the Rosabeth Moss Kanter Award to raise the awareness of high quality work-family research among the scholar, consultant and practitioner communities.  Through the generous sponsorship of the Corporate Partners of the Boston College Center for Work & Family, the standards of quality for work-family research will continue to rise, and actionable findings from the best studies will become more commonplace in business communities to inform policy and best people practices. 

With research, education, and outreach, the Center for Families at Purdue University strengthens services to families provided by employers, legislators, and others. www.purdue.edu/kanteraward
