Lasting Impact

Lasting Impact

|

A good book can change your life. A good research paper can change many lives.

In April 2024, Professor of Management Jeff Houghton was recognized for his work on “Effective Stress Management: A Model of Emotional Intelligence, Self-Leadership, and Student Stress Coping,” which presents a model of the relationships between emotional intelligence, self-leadership and stress coping for management students.

The catch? That paper was published in 2012.

Its publisher, the Journal of Management Education, recognized Houghton and his co-authors with its Lasting Impact Award, presented for research that has demonstrated significant impact on management educators for at least ten years.

"I'm honored to have my paper selected for 2023 Lasting Impact Award from the Management and Organizational Behavior Teaching Society and Sage Publications,” said Houghton. “It's gratifying to know that my paper is still making a difference more than a decade after its initial publication.”

A Divine Business Plan

Religiosity can help turn believers into entrepreneurs, according to Nancy McIntyre, associate professor of management at the Chambers College. A study by McIntrye found that when religiosity is more than attending a place of worship — “when it’s a commitment to religious principles and activities” — it strengthens the desire to create a business with a conscience.
