Join us for our November 13 Adderley Positive Research Incubator ‘Promoting Psychological Safety and Voice in Work Groups,’ with scholar Nicole Abi-Esber. Adderley Positive Research Incubators invite emerging scholars to share new work or work in progress related to the broad domain of Positive Organizational Scholarship supported by a community dedicated to helping them foster early ideas, generate insights, and see new possibilities for their core ideas. Incubators are an exciting forum for the growth, celebration, and expansion of research ideas aimed at fostering our understanding of the science of thriving organizations. We invite members of our POS Community of Scholars and any interested scholars or researchers to attend our Adderley Positive Research Incubators. 💡 https://lnkd.in/gnut5aZP
