Organizational Behavior
M&O Organizational Behavior
researchers are interested studying the
human side of organizations and consider
issues that integrate organization,
group/team, and individual levels.
Research in organizational behavior is
interdisciplinary in nature, as it draws
on contributions from sociology,
psychology, communications, industrial
organization economics, political
science, anthropology, and decision
theory. Major areas of research and
teaching include: leadership; work
motivation; decision making; team
processes, dynamics and performance;
organizational culture and climate;
innovation and creativity, job and work
design; work attitudes; career
development; knowledge management and
information sharing in organizations;
negotiations; conflict management;
global and cross-cultural management;
organizational change; and
organizational justice and fairness.
The organizational behavior faculty
is composed of a group of very active
researchers, scholars and teachers. We
contribute to the training of students
and managers who seek to learn about the
behavioral and management issues that
have important implications for
organizations and the people in them.
Our curriculum helps students understand
how to effectively manage the behavior
of individuals and groups within
organizations and incorporates the
latest in both theory and practice.
M&O Organizational Behavior faculty
consistently publish their research in
the best journals in the field, hold
senior positions in our professional
associations, and are on the editorial
boards of top-rated management journals.
Our faculty are consistently recognized
as among the best teachers in the
Business School and are widely sought
for their expertise on a broad range of
organizational behavior issues.
The Organizational Behavior area has
a strong and vibrant Ph.D. program that
prepares its students to take positions
as research faculty in the world’s best
universities. Our recent graduates have
gone on to positions at universities
such as Cornell, University of Texas at
Austin, Vanderbilt, among others, and
have continued our long tradition of
excellence in research and teaching in
organizational behavior.
