“…Indeed, Ward et al's (2015: 26) claim that 'the ON perspective is that neural activity is necessary, but not sufficient, in understanding sensation, perception, and behaviors…we recognize that behavior takes place within, and is partially shaped by, the social context' does not seem consistent with ON's foundational expositions (see also Lee et al 2012a). Rather, in attempting to defend ON, Ward et al (2015) appear to have redefined it, as OCN (see Butler and Senior, 2007a, b;Chamberlain, 2007 Senior et al, 2011a).…”

“…First though, since it appears that the distinction is more difficult to comprehend than we expected, we will go into some depth to discuss why the two approaches are different in important ways. This is particularly important in light of Ward et al's (2015) recent defense of ON, which appears to exhibit a similar tendency to conflate ON and OCN, this time for the purposes of defending ON rather than criticizing it. While neither cognitive neuroscience nor neuroscience itself can truly be considered to have coalesced as unified disciplines of study until the 1970s or even 1980s, their various foundational fields (e.g.…”

In this critical essay, we respond to Lindebaum's (2016) argument that neuroscientific methodologies and data have been accepted prematurely in proposing novel management theory. We acknowledge that building new management theories requires firm foundations.We also find his distinction between demand and supply side forces helpful as an analytical framework identifying the momentum for the contemporary production of management theory. Nevertheless, some of the arguments Lindebaum (2016) puts forward, on closer inspection, can be contested, especially those related to the supply side of organizational cognitive neuroscience (OCN) research: fMRI data, motherhood statements and ethical concerns. We put forward a more positive case for OCN methodologies and data, as well as clarifying exactly what OCN really means, and its consequences for the development of strong management theory.

“…As this special issue demonstrates, neuroscientific methods in general offer multiple benefits for organizational theory. Reasons such as expanding the research toolbox to complement the subjectivity of self-reports and other behavioral measures, enhancement of our understanding of constructs and their relationships, and new ways to refine theory are some of the quoted benefits that neuroscientific methods can bring to organizational research (Ward et al, 2015). These methods would also allow for a better understanding of the relationship between organizational behavior and our brains (Lindebaum & Zundel, 2013).…”

Electroencephalography (EEG) was the first of the noninvasive brain measures in neuroscience. Technical advances over the last 100 years or so have rendered EEG a true brain imaging technique. Here, we provide an accessible primer on the biophysics of EEG, on measurement aspects, and on the analysis of EEG data. We use the example of event-related potentials (ERPs), although the issues apply equally to other varieties of EEG signals, and provide an overview of analytic methods at the base of the so-called electrical neuroimaging framework. We detail the interpretational strengths of electrical neuroimaging for organizational researchers and describe some domains of ongoing technical developments. We likewise emphasize practical considerations with the use of EEG in more real-world settings. This primer is intended to provide organizational researchers specifically, and novices more generally, an access point to understanding how EEG may be applied in their research.

“…To address these limitations, a growing number of OBHRM scholars are calling for greater attention to be paid to the influence that implicit processes have on behavior and attitudes in the workplace ( Ashkanasy, 2013 ; Ashkanasy et al, 2014 ; Healey and Hodgkinson, 2015 ; Ward et al, 2015 ). This has led to an emerging multidisciplinary field, ON, which uses information from the brain to give researchers and practitioners a better understanding of the disciplines of OB and HRM ( Waldman and Balthazard, 2015 ).…”

Virtual Reality as an Emerging Methodology for Leadership Assessment and Training

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In developed countries, companies are now substantially reliant on the skills and abilities of their leaders to tackle a variety of complex issues. There is a growing consensus that leadership development training and assessment methods should adopt more holistic methodologies, including those associated with the emotional and neuroendocrine aspects of learning. Recent research into the assessment of leadership competencies has proposed the use of objective methods and measurements based on neuroscience. One of the challenges to be faced in the development of a performance-based methodology to measure leadership skills is how to generate real-life situations with triggers that allow us to study management competencies under controlled laboratory conditions. A way to address this question is to take advantage of virtual environments to recreate real-life situations that might arise in performance-based assessments. We propose virtual reality (VR) as a very promising tool to observe various leadership related behavioral patterns during dynamic, complex and realistic situations. By seamlessly embedding assessment methods into virtual learning environments, VR can provide objective assessment methods with high ecological validity. VR also holds unlimited opportunities for leadership training providing subjects with intelligent tutoring systems that adapts situations in real time according to the observed behaviors.
