Mr. JackI recently found out my IQ from finally getting my hands on my autism diagnosis and it’s a number in the range of “yeah being in academia has already reaffirmed for me that I am a genius and though I object to the use of IQ scores in most contexts, it was a nice little pick me up for a psychiatrist to classify me as a genius”.

Incentivizing Ongoing Learning in Today's Rapidly Evolving Organizations | socPub
In today’s fast-changing industries, staying relevant is a constant challenge. Skills employers highly value now were irrelevant only a few years ago, partly due to the rapid evolution of technology. Companies must actively encourage ongoing learning to keep up to date.Yet, what can employers do to ensure future innovative success? One way they guarantee growth and commitment to upskilling is through incentives. By making continuous learning attractive, professionals can achieve long-term success with today’s in-demand skills.
JeromeIn that same vein, is there data about the effectiveness of "Be polite" signs? (See photo.)
How do signs affect customers and staff? Do behaviours change in a way that reduces conflict, … or that triggers or escalates conflict?
Given recent news reports of more staff harassment, it warrants research into the effects of systemic attempts to reduce conflict, including signage.

Dave GuarinoQuestion for org behavior / business / sociology folks:
What is good writing on the phenomenon of how org additions (new hires, new units, new programs) create internal stakeholders and affect top level decisions moving forward as a result?
Evidence for an interesting new distinction between pay justice and pay satisfaction:
“For example, pay from a part-time job may be just because the input-output ratio is balanced, but pay satisfaction may nevertheless be low because the job does not allow lifestyle desires (e.g., a nicer car, more expensive vacations) to be achieved.”

The dangers of loyalty in the workplace:
New research finds that, “instead of protecting or rewarding them, loyal employees are selectively and ironically targeted by managers for exploitative practices.”

SES, Inclusion, and Mental Health:
Really interesting new survey of UK Higher Education staff finds that staff from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds feel relatively less valued and included by policymakers (e.g., government), and this has a negative effect on their mental health and well-being.
