We would like to congratulate our Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior, Yi-Ren Wang, on winning the 2024 Rosabeth Moss Kanter Award for Research Excellence in Work and Family.  

Asia School of Business (ASB), Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior, Yi-Ren Wang, along with her U.S. co-author, has been awarded the 2024 Rosabeth Moss Kanter Award for Research Excellence in Work and Family.  

The award was presented at the Work and Family Researchers Network (WFRN) Conference at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, in June 2024. 

This prestigious award selects from over 2,500 articles published in 64 leading English-language journals globally, with only two articles chosen as winners. Professor Wang and her team’s groundbreaking study introduced the concept of the “invisible family load” that working adults bear at home. They developed a scale to measure this load and examined gender differences in work and psychological experiences. 

This recognition highlights Professor Wang’s significant contributions to organizational behavior and the impact of her research on work-family dynamics. 

This is the second international award that ASB professors have won in 2024. Earlier in March, Professor Michael Frese won a joint award for the 2024 Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research.
