UWA Business School faculty have been recognised for their outstanding research with the recent awarding of a prestigious fellowship and two competitive Australian Research Council grants.

Winthrop Professor David Day , Woodside Chair in Leadership and Management, was named a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science in the United States. The fellowship was awarded for Professor Day's ‘sustained outstanding contribution to the advancement of psychological science,' and places Professor Day in an elite group worldwide within the psychology discipline.

UWA Business School researchers were also successful in two Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Project grants.

Winthrop Professor Rob Lambert and Winthrop Professor Trish Todd , along with a group of external researchers, were awarded an ARC Linkage Project grant to explore "Engineering service work, global production networks and employment relations in Australian mining."

Working with the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union, Professors Lambert and Todd will examine the labour skill issues and global production network theory related to the shift towards automated mining.

In a second ARC Linkage Project, Winthrop Professor Cristina Gibson will work with fellow researchers to explore how work teams can function most effectively in a climate of organisational restructures and ongoing centralisation. The project is administered by The University of New South Wales and supported by Inenco Pty Limited.
