The Future of Help at Work: An Expert Panel

Since first being studied in management about half a century ago, the research on help has expanded to include multiple sub-domains (e.g., OCBs, reciprocity, volunteering, advice seeking), hundreds of publications, best-selling books, and tens of thousands of citations attributed to this work. Taken together, this past effort begs the question: what does the future of help at work look like? Our symposium includes four expert panelists working on the front lines as academics and practitioners examining and facilitating this phenomenon, and asks them to address specific questions about the Future of Help at Work. The questions are designed to inform both research and practice on this topic, as well as addressing the theme for this year’s conference, Creating a Better World Together.
