The Accounting, Behavior and Organizations Section invites you to the 2019 Research Conference.

Call for Submissions

Submission and Volunteer Information
The ABO Section will accept submissions of research papers starting on April 1. Papers may encompass any topical area involving human or organizational behavior. It is our expectation that anyone who submits a paper will also volunteer to review a paper. We will also be in need of volunteers to act as discussants and moderators. ABO section members can volunteer for any of these roles through the electronic submission system. Information on how to submit and volunteer will be announced soon.

The deadline for submissions is Thursday, May 30, 2019. There will be a $25 submission fee for all faculty members. To pay the fee, please Click Here. Once you have paid the submission fee, you may submit your paper through the electronic submissions system. During the submission process, you will be asked to provide a Submission Fee Acknowledgement Code, which you will receive via email upon completing the fee payment form. NOTE: Doctoral students are not required to pay the submission fee. During the submission process, doctoral students should enter "Doctoral" where the Submission Fee Acknowledgement Code is required.


Emerging Scholars (i.e., faculty who have graduated within the past three years and doctoral students) are encouraged to submit their work for consideration. Emerging Scholar papers selected for the conference will be assigned to sessions with senior discussants who will provide detailed constructive feedback. Please be sure to indicate in the submission system if you wish your paper to be designated as an Emerging Scholar paper.

Finally, the ABO awards two outstanding paper awards for the conference: Outstanding Manuscript and Outstanding Emerging Scholar Manuscript.

We look forward to seeing you in Providence, Rhode Island!
