Understanding the Work-Family Implications of Relationships with Leaders
Incorporating important theoretical perspectives on leadership, the four papers serve to recognize that the degree to which work-life supports are provided is a function of the quality of the leader-employee relationship. Based on strong methodological designs, the papers investigate interesting mechanisms through which the leader-employee relationship influences the work-family experiences.

Toward a New Narrative for the Leadership Gender Agenda                              

The media is abuzz about the underrepresentation of women in senior leadership. This session explores how popular notions like the female leadership advantage, confidence gaps, and leaning in, while well intended, may be misguided. Combining data and practice, we go beyond common stereotypes to reframe the problem and offer solutions.

Finding Value in 360-Feedback Rater Disagreements                                    
360-degree feedback has long been used by organizations. However, there is a lack of consensus on how to compile feedback from different sources. The goal of this symposium is to discuss rater disagreements from both theoretical and empirical perspectives, and demonstrate the value of understanding unique inputs from various sources.

Evaluating good decision making starts with making good decisions              
This session will include multiple viewpoints on how best to predict and improve employee decision making. Panelists will discuss existing research on evaluating characteristics that define good judgment, cognitive style and horsepower, and implications for employee selection and development. Experiences with implementing programs featuring corresponding assessments will also be discussed.

Individual Differences and the Creative Process: Implications for Talent Identification
Creativity is often critical to organizational success. Previous researchers have often examined relationships between individual differences and creative outcomes, while discarding research indicating creativity is best viewed as a process rather than an outcome. In this symposium, we will illustrate how individual differences can predict individual and team creative processes.

Data Cleansing Time! Insufficient Effort Responding in Concurrent Validation Studies
Due to motivational difference between incumbents and applicants, insufficient effort responding (IER; i.e., careless or random responding) is a concern in concurrent validation studies. This symposium presents emerging research on IER in concurrent validation data, covering both detection of IER and the potential impact of IER on validity inference.

Practical and Ethical Guidelines for Dealing with Messy Validation Data

Validation datasets are typically presented in less-than-ideal forms (i.e., messy), posing challenges to I-O professionals tasked with demonstrating the value of selection tools. This panel will discuss considerations for handling messy data, reflecting on their individual past experiences, as well as their approaches to analyzing the same messy dataset.

Synthetic Validity: Further Evidence of its Accuracy and Application

Synthetic validation is a professionally accepted alternative validation method when traditional criterion-related validation is not possible. However, there remains resistance to using these non-traditional validation methods. This symposium provides new research on synthetic validity to show evidence of its accuracy compared to traditional methods and new examples of applications.

Using Scientific Research and Best Practices to Drive Competency-Based Solutions Many companies use competencies for performance management, but surprisingly, few I/O psychologists are involved in developing and managing these systems. With competencies, research is lagging behind business. This panel brings professionals together to explore how we can more effectively use scientific research and best practices to inform competency-based business solutions.

Job Analytic Comparisons of Managerial and Leadership Competencies Across Industries
Using archival job analytic data, we examined the overlap in competencies required for effective managers and leaders across industries. Results suggest necessary behaviors are similar across industries and differences are likely present for all levels of employment. Therefore, we should work towards one competency model for managerial and leadership performance.

Intrapreneurship: Fostering Innovation in Big Organizations
There is an abundant literature on the psychology of entrepreneurship but little research on the antecedents and consequences of intrapreneurship, defined as work-related behaviors that promote change and innovation with large organizations. A diverse and experienced panel will share lessons learned and spark ideas for research and practice.

The Factor Structure of Personality Derailers across Cultures                         

Despite the increasing popularity of dark-side (derailing) personality, there is little consensus over the structure of personality derailer constructs. The Five Factor Model (FFM) as the universal taxonomy of bright-side personality has shown equivalence across cultures. The present study examines the factor structure of personality derailers across cultures.

Is Incivility Selective? A Meta-Analytic Test of Selective Incivility Theory

This meta-analysis explores whether people in the protected groups of age, race, and sex experience different levels of incivility. Overall meta-analytic corrected correlations suggest that protected groups are not experiencing incivility at different rates; however, large credibility intervals suggest the presence of moderators. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.

Nonlinear relationships of narrow personality and narrow leadership criterion constructs
Past research on the personality-performance link show inconsistent findings on the shape (linear vs. non-linear) of such relationships. We approach this research question by examining narrow personality and narrow criterion constructs that are theoretically and empirically related.
