Misalignment between employees\u2019 beliefs and values and those of their employers could be one of the causes of procrastination behaviour in working environments.<\/p>\n
Distinguished Professor of Management Dirk De Clercq will explore these issues during the next Goodman School of Business Luncheon Speaker Series event on Friday, Jan. 10.<\/p>\n
During his talk, De Clercq will discuss findings showing that some employees who feel as if they do not fit into their organization can become less productive as they plan to quit their jobs.<\/p>\n
De Clercq holds a PhD in Business Administration from the University of Minnesota, as well as a master\u2019s degree in general management from the Vlerick Business School and bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees in engineering from Ghent University in Belgium.<\/p>\n
He has published numerous peer-reviewed journal articles on entrepreneurship, innovation management and organizational behaviour. Additionally, he is on Stanford University\u2019s list of the world\u2019s top two per cent of scientists in terms of citations over the course of a career. De Clercq has been recognized with several accolades including the student-voted Beta Gamma Sigma Professor of the Year Award, the Goodman School of Business Distinguished Scholar Award as well as the Brock University Award for Distinguished Research and Creative Activity.<\/p>\n
