Awards
SPIM offers three awards. The Distinguished Psychologist in Management Award, Richard Kilburg Service Award and the Early Career Woman Psychologist in Management Award
DISTINGUISHED PSYCHOLOGIST IN MANAGEMENT AWARD
The Distinguished Psychologist in Management Award recognizes outstanding contributions to the practice of management by a psychologist. It was created to recognize individual accomplishments in fulfilling the purpose of the Society of Psychologists in Management (SPIM), which is to facilitate the growth, development, and interaction of psychologists who work as managers, or who otherwise contribute to the application of psychology in management.
The award is presented to an individual who has developed, refined, and implemented practices, procedures, and methods that have a major impact on people in organizational settings and/or on the professions of management.
The award includes an honorarium, a plaque and an invited address at SPIM's Midwinter Conference.
The recipient must be a psychologist and manager (or one who has made major contributions to psychology and management). Membership in the American Psychological Association or the American Psychological Society is highly desirable as evidence of commitment to the science and practice of psychology.
