Forum for People Performance Management and Measurement Names winner of 2010-11 research competition
Meng Uoy Taing, who is pursuing his doctoral degree in Industrial / Organizational Psychology at the University of South Florida, Tampa, won the research prize, which includes a $2,500 stipend, together with exclusive access to business and industry experts for research guidance and potential data sources.
Taing’s research abstract, “Transformational Leadership Behaviors: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective,” was selected among six finalists, including entries from candidates representing Cornell University, The University of Maryland and the London School of Economics and Political Science.
“The key requirement for finalists was that the research addresses the relationship between employees, or other key constituents, to specific metrics of an organization’s performance,” said Forum President Keith Fenhaus. “The Forum’s panel of judges chose a winner whose research was closely aligned with the Forum’s concept of the Human Value Connection and Leadership Model. We look forward to the completion of Mr. Taing’s research later this year.”
