Our Section mission is to stimulate interchange and research on the relationship between behavioral science and accounting. This might include, for example, the behavioral impact of accounting information, the incorporation of behavioral and attitudinal measures in accounting and human resource accounting.

To promote the integration of organizational and general system theories with developments in accounting theory. The former might include such constructs as organizational effectiveness, open vs. closed systems, contingency theory, constituencies, organizational adaptability or resilience, and social responsibility accounting.

For PhD Students

The Accounting, Behavior, and Organizations Section of the AAA hosts a Doctoral Consortium in conjunction with the ABO Research Conference annually. The Consortium is designed for PhD students interested in conducting behavioral research. New faculty (i.e., those less than three years post PhD) also will be considered for attendance at the Consortium, space permitting.

The ABO Doctoral Consortium provides an exciting opportunity to bring together new and established behavioral researchers to exchange research ideas and career experiences. We hope that you will join us!
