Researchers have documented a persistent research-practice gap, the gap between what management scholars “know” based on research and what managers “do” in practice. Management educators play an important role in narrowing this gap by sharing evidence-based content (scientific principles and research evidence related to specific management topics) with managers and helping managers develop the skills to incorporate this content into their practice. This PDW begins with an overview of adult learning principles that can inform the design of educational experiences for managers so they are better able to link academic material to their day-to-day practice. Few management professors receive formal training on how to teach and even fewer learn about adult learning principles that are essential to effectively teaching managers. This PDW uses a “tell and show” format to demonstrate teaching tools that incorporate adult learning principles into management education. The panelists will deliver a series of brief presentations “telling” the audience about their tools. Then the panelists will host tables “showing” small groups how they use their tools. Audience members will have opportunities to ask questions and rotate across tables during the session. The facilitator will lead a full group discussion and conclude the session by summarizing how participants can use adult learning principles to develop their own instructional tools.

In today's increasingly diverse and inclusive world, the examination of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) issues within organizations has gained profound significance. This endeavor transcends mere compliance with legal mandates; it represents a journey towards understanding, empathy, and equity. With a commitment to fostering theory-driven scholarship, this symposium aims to present compelling works that apply a variety of theoretical perspectives to understand the workplace experiences of LGBT workers and leaders, with a special focus on transgender and nonbinary populations. We present four papers that employ strong theoretical perspectives, enriching our understanding of LGBT issues. These studies also feature a diverse range of research designs and methodological approaches (e.g., qualitative, longitudinal/time-lagged, systematic/integrative review). Collectively, these four papers lay the foundation for further theory-driven scholarship, contributing to building a stronger body of research on LGBT work-related issues.
