We congratulate our PhD student Benno Stöcklein, whose paper "Good Fun or Laughing Stock? How CEO Trait Humor Affects Social Approval, Reputation, and Legitimacy" was accepted for presentation at the 2020 annual meeting of the Academy of Management (AOM) and was judged as one of the best papers in the program by the Organization & Management Theory (OMT) division.
This honor entitles the paper to be published in the "Best Paper Proceedings" of the Academy of Management Meeting. The best paper proceedings feature abridged versions of the best 10% of all papers accepted at the AOM conference.
The annual meeting of the Academy of Management is one of the most renowned and largest research conferences for management scholars worldwide. This year the annual meeting will take place virtually from August 07-11, 2020, due to the global travel restrictions caused by the Corona crisis.
