Talya Bauer, Ph.D Earns Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology's Top Honor
(Portland, Ore.) May 11, 2005 – The Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) has honored Talya Bauer, Portland State University School of Business Administration professor, as one of only ten members selected this year to be a Fellow, the society’s highest honor.
The announcement was made April 15, during the annual SIOP national conference in Los Angeles. The 6,300-member Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology is an international group of industrial-organizational psychologists whose members study and apply scientific principles concerning people in the workplace. SIOP Fellows must have been professionals in the field for a minimum of ten years. This was Bauer’s first year of eligibility, and she was the youngest recipient.
"SIOP Fellows have distinguished themselves by their outstanding contributions to the field,” said SIOP President Fritz Drasgow. “It is a significant honor granted only to a small percentage of industrial-organizational psychologists.”
Talya Bauer joined PSU’s School of Business Administration in 1994. She teaches organizational behavior, negotiations, as well as training and development at the graduate and undergraduate level. Bauer conducts research about relationships at work and was one of the first researchers in the nation to investigate selection systems and employee testing from the applicant’s point of view. Her research findings are applicable to managers and employees alike and have been used by a number of companies throughout the country to improve selection systems ranging from hiring to retention.
"This group of Fellows has
collectively accomplished so much in their careers and has had huge impact
on Human Resources both theoretically and practically,” said Prof. Bauer.
" When I think about the work that these Fellows have achieved, I
am thrilled to be counted among them. This honor is motivating as my work
evolves in new directions, such as how technology affects selection and
applicant reactions to selection. Hopefully my research will make a difference
in how organizations design selection systems to value applicants and
treat them fairly.”
Prof. Bauer’s work has been published in numerous top-tier professional journals, including Academy of Management Journal, Personnel Psychology and Journal of Applied Psychology; she also serves on the editorial boards of the latter two. She has consulted for dozens of government, Fortune 1000 and start-up organizations, and holds a Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior and Human Resources from Purdue University.
