University while being a visiting professor for many other universities”. [ CITATION Geo2 \l 1033 ]

for Industrial and Organizational Psychological (SIOP), chairman of the Human Resources

Management Division of the Academy of Management (AOM) and has also been on the Board

of Governors of the AOM. Richard Klimoski has also edited for the Academy of Management

Review, and also has been the editor for the Academy of Management Learning and Educational

Journals and is presently the editor for the Organizational Frontier Books Series for the Society

for Industrial and Organizational Society” [ CITATION Geo2 \l 1033 ] There are other journals also

where Richard Klimoski acts as an editor.

“Richard Klimoski is among the board members of many non-profit organizations

(NGO’s) a few of them are the SIOP Foundation, SHRM Foundation, Workhouse Arts

Foundation and the Easter Seals of the Greater Washington Region” [ CITATION Geo2 \l 1033 ].

Richard Klimoski helps the foundations by helping them in finding new paths to learn and

market a more effective way of managing their staff and employees through consultation.

The reports given by Richard Klimoski about the study of psychological and

organizational management being mixed together to view management of human resources from

a different prospective has given me a deeper understanding of management and how it could be

utilized differently in the field and efficiently which helps me progress my studies and

understanding of management and psychology at a better level of understanding.
