Abstract:
In this presentation, I review some principles from the organizational socialization research related to developing cultural norms, and describe how these findings might relate to creating a culture for robust and reliable organizational science. One key concern is how reward structures may pressure researchers to cut corners in producing research. Another key concern is how to offset these pressures with counter-pressures that show the benefits of appropriate research for personal gain, meaning at work, social reinforcement, and identity processes. Special emphasis is placed on moral foundations concepts and the idea that multiple motivational systems can be invoked to facilitate cultural development.
