The Fritz Roethlisberger Memorial Award Goes to "Using Leadered Groups in Organizational Behavior and Management Survey Courses"
Amoroso, Lisa M.; Loyd, Denise Lewin; Hoobler, Jenny M.
Journal of Management Education, v36 n4 p468-470 Aug 2012
The Fritz J. Roethlisberger Memorial Award for the best article in the 2011 "Journal of Management Education" goes to Rae Andre for her article, Using Leadered Groups in Organizational Behavior and Management Survey Courses ("Journal of Management Education," Volume 35, Number 5, pp. 596-619). In keeping with Roethlisberger's legacy, this year's best article questions the widespread use of "leaderless" groups as a pedagogical tool in management classrooms. Rather than directing one's attention toward a new challenge facing management education, this article invites everyone to reconsider a foundational practice on which so much of organizational behavior instruction uncritically rests. Andre problematizes the assumption that students are best left to sort out and structure their own class groups. She challenges the notion that the leadership that "naturally" emerges within groups serves the larger learning goals. Her ideas, drawing on theories of cooperative learning, are particularly valuable to an organizational behavior course in that leadership skill development must be front and center but within the protected, learning incubator of the classroom.
