DENVER – Dr. Wayne Cascio, the Robert H. Reynolds Chair in Global Leadership and Professor of Management at the University of Colorado Denver Business School, has a long list of prestigious awards to his name. Recently, he has added another prestigious award: the Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award from the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP).

This honor is awarded to individuals who have made the most distinguished empirical and/or theoretical scientific contributions to the field of industrial and organizational (IO) psychology. The Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award is given in recognition of outstanding contributions to the science of IO psychology.

I-O psychology is the scientific study of the workplace. Rigor and methods of psychology are applied to issues of critical relevance to business, including talent management, coaching, assessment, selection, training, organizational development, performance, and work-life balance.

According to SIOP: “Dr. Cascio’s research and professional activities have combined to create an impressive body of contributions to both academia and practice during his nearly 40-year career. His research on the organizational effects of downsizing, quantifying the financial effects of HR policies and practices, the determinants and outcomes of employee turnover, performance appraisals, and international HR management has resulted in an exceptional number of influential books and articles that have greatly impacted both academia and the business sector.”
