Assistant Professor Nick Prince, of the University of Wyoming’s College of Business, has been selected as the recipient of the 2023-26 Governor Geringer Award for Promising Young Scholars.

The award honors faculty members in the Department of Management and Marketing who have demonstrated excellence in teaching, research and service. Geringer Award recipients also must show potential for future contributions to their fields.

The Governor Geringer Award for Promising Young Scholars was established in 2002 to honor former Wyoming Gov. Jim Geringer, the 13th governor of Wyoming, by recognizing and supporting promising young faculty members. The award includes $5,000 per year for a three-year term.

Prince’s scholarly expertise is in human resource management. He earned a Ph.D. in organizational behavior at the University of Illinois; his MBA in organizational behavior and human resource management at Brigham Young University; and a B.S. in marketing at Kansas State University.

His primary research is in international human resources. Specifically, he studies how institutional factors such as national culture and institutional flexibility have influenced the impact of incentive pay and performance management on firm performance and turnover. He has a secondary research stream in strategic human resources, with a growing interest in how it influences small businesses. His research has been published in management journals such as Organization Science, the Journal of World Business, Personnel Review, Employee Relations and Evidence-based HRM.

Prince has received several research awards, including an outstanding paper and a highly commended paper in the Emerald Literati Network Awards.

Prince teaches primarily in the undergraduate program on topics such as human resource management; organizations and management; performance and compensation; training and development; and change management. He has received multiple teaching awards, including the College of Business Professor of the Year Award; the Impact Award; and Mortar Board Top Prof. He is one of the advisers for UW’s Society for Human Resource Management chapter.
