Org Behavior/Human Resources PhD Program

General Description

The defining features of the Organizational Behavior and Human Resources Doctoral Program are personal development, participation in scholarly activity, and diversity within a supportive, collaborative research and learning environment. The supportive environment is partly reflected in our low attrition rate among those few (typically two or three) students we admit each year. Our commitment to academic training has led to job placements in such schools as Pennsylvania State University, University of Georgia, Auburn University, University of Alabama, Texas Christian University, and the University of Utah.

The diversity and flexibility of the program is perhaps best illuminated through the faculty. The faculty possess expertise in a wide range of areas within OB/HR, including leadership, the management of stress, social influence, attributional tendencies of leaders and workers, organizational politics, labor relations, and employee staffing and performance management. Faculty research efforts have been published in scholarly outlets, such as Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Journal of Applied Psychology, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Journal of Management, and Industrial Relations, as well as in invited book chapters and presentations at professional meetings.
