Leadership and Organizational Psychology

ssessment Description This is your first class in your doctoral journey, but it is never too early to have a conversation about what topic you would like to research. Some of you may have no idea of what you would like to explore, while others are absolutely certain you know exactly what you will be researching. In all likelihood, the specific topic that you are considering right now will probably go through a series of modifications prior to working with your committee. Finding a dissertation topic is much more than researching a topic in which you have an interest or passion. Most likely, your topic will be very a broad idea that will be narrowed to something much more specific as you read extensively the empirical research surrounding your subject. To justify a research project such as a dissertation, there must be not only a need for the research, but also a space where the research will contribute in a significant way to your field. Thus, it is important to acquaint yourself with the current research interests, focus, and questions that need answers in your field of study. In this assignment, you will employ an AI search to find prominent professional organizations in your field of study and identify their major annual conferences. For each organization, you will explore their most recent conference websites and identify the conference themes from the past three years. These usually come in the form of calls for proposals and/or keynote topics. These items will reveal the current research interests, focus, and questions that need answers in your field of study.
