MURFREESBORO — Dr.
Thomas Tang, a professor in the Department of Management and Marketing in the MTSU
Jones College of Business, was recently named a Fellow of the International
Association of Applied Psychology.
“This is quite a prestigious award and is in recognition of his
professional accomplishments and the high regard in which he is held by
colleagues around the world,” said Dr. Peter Cunningham in the Office of the
University Provost at MTSU.
Founded in 1920, the International Association of Applied Psychology
is the oldest of its kind and includes scholars
and researchers from more than 80 countries around the world. Tang, who
has a doctorate in industrial/organizational psychology, has been a member of
the IAAP since 1981 and currently serves as an associate editor of “Applied
Psychology: An International Review,” the official flagship publication
of the IAAP.
Tang will receive his Fellow’s Award at the closing ceremony of the quadrennial
meeting of International Congress of Applied Psychology on July 13 in Paris,
France.
“This is the highest honor I have received in my career,” said Tang,
who holds both master’s and Ph.D. degrees from Case Western Reserve University in
Cleveland, Ohio, and has taught at MTSU since 1983.
While in Paris, Tang will also participate with other editors of top
psychology journals in a special panel on “How to Get Published,” chair two
symposia on money intelligence, and present several papers during the symposia.
According to the Journal of Business Ethics, Tang is being honored
for his work in economic psychology and is best known for his research on the
meaning of money, love of money and monetary intelligence.
At MTSU, Tang received Outstanding Research Awards twice — in 1991
for his work in psychology and in 1999 for his research in management,
Distinguished International Service Award (1999), Outstanding Faculty Member in
the Jones College of Business (2008), and Outstanding Career Achievement Award
(2008).
