When Drs. Bob and Joyce Hogan set out to produce the world’s most valid and predictive personality assessments, they did so with the future in mind. Their success was not intended to be defined by building a thriving business. To them, it was more important to have an impact on those who would study and research personality in the many years to follow.
The Hogan Award for Personality and Work Performance, awarded at the SIOP annual conference to the author(s) of a paper or chapter judged to have the highest potential to further the understanding of personality as it relates to work performance, is the most prestigious honor in the field. Previous award winners have been able to successfully leverage this honor to fast-track their careers, and become some of the leading voices in personality psychology.
