Georgetown Professor Douglas McCabe of the McDonough School of Business was recently honored with the “Best Paper Award” at the 2017 Annual Conference of the American Society for Competitiveness in Washington DC. This year’s conference theme was “Breaking Down Barriers to Competitiveness: A Path Forward.”
McCabe’s paper was titled “Conflict Resolution and Organizational Justice in the Workplace—The Evidence Based Research” and discussed current evidence-based research on how employees can achieve justice, equity, and voice within organizations.
“Conflict and its resolution play a critical role in organizations,” McCabe said. “A growing proportion of companies and corporations have turned to various dispute resolution procedures to resolve the complaints and grievances of their employees within the organizational behavior context.”
McCabe’s work has already become more than just research, having been put into practice at progressive firms. “Many of these quality and legitimate systems were put into place based upon the policy recommendations of my stream of research, as well as the research of other human resource management scholars,” he said.
This was the fourth Best Paper Award McCabe has earned during his career at Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business. The professor of management has worked at McDonough since 2013, teaching EMBA and management classes. Additional awards earned by McCabe include:
