Welcome to Organizational Perspectives, a home for cross-disciplinary dialogue about human capital management.
Improving an organization’s performance can be approached from a business, psychology, or education discipline.
A motivated, team-oriented, and creative workforce is a result of professionals from these three disciplines working together. Human resource professionals bring talent into organizations through hiring and promotion, training and performance improvement professionals develop talent to meet organizational needs, and organizational psychologists look at the effects that social and workplace contexts have on individuals and groups.
Organizational Perspectives is hosted by Capella University to enable scholars and practitioners to exchange and discuss ideas in human capital management.

Papers are being accepted for the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences. It will be held January 5-8, 2010, at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa, Koloa, Kauai, Hawaii.
