| Course Number | Course Title | Course Description |
| 3073 | Industrial/Organizational Psychology | An examination of psychological techniques, principles, and theories applied to the study of individuals and groups within organizations. Topics include personnel selection, evaluation, performance, training, motivation, and leadership. |
| 8113 | Applied Multivariate Statistics | Covers applications and extensions of the general linear model. Typical topics include linear and non-linear regression analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling, and meta-analysis. Students will apply techniques to contemporary psychological problems. |
| 2023 | Statistics for Behavioral Sciences | Provides a foundation in probability theory and statistical analysis of social science data. Emphasis on what various statistics do, when they might be useful, and how to compute the results. A balance between procedural and conceptual understanding is presented. Prerequisite: Psy 2253 or introductory psychology course. |
| 7973 | Seminar: Leadership | Provides an introduction to the major approaches to understanding, predicting, and measuring leadership in organizations. Specific topics include trait, style, situational, contingency, path-goal, transformational, and leader-member exchange approaches. |
| 7441-9 | Fieldwork in I/O Psychology | Practical, supervised work experience (i.e., internship) in private or public sector organizations. Emphasis differs across different placements. |
| 8103 | Personnel Testing & Selection | Examines theory and applications of employment testing. Students learn major selection procedures (e.g., interviews, personality and cognitive ability tests, biodata, assessment centers) as well as strategies for test validation. Other evaluation topics such as bias, fairness, and utility analysis are emphasized. |
| 7973 | Meta-Analysis | This course offers an introduction to the concepts and applications of meta-analysis, offering guidance in how to conduct meta-analysis and interpret meta-analytic research in the social sciences. Students will (a) read extensively on key issues in and classic applications of meta-analysis, (b) develop their own meta-analytic computation "program" using Excel, and (c) conduct an actual meta-analysis in an area of their choosing. |
Managerial performance and its measurement. I have published on the development and validation of a comprehensive “hyperdimensional” taxonomy of managerial competence. I am currently developing a multi-perspective approach to understanding work performance, integrating questions bearing on content (what is performance?), process (how and when does it come to be?), function (why is it targeted for assessment?), and constituency (who provides the data?).
Emotional intelligence (EI) and its measurement. A primary question driving current efforts is whether EI is properly conceived as an ability, a personality trait, or a combination of both. Related issues include (a) the dimensionality of EI, (b) the role of response biases in self-reported EI, and (c) the validity of EI in relations with job performance, including increments beyond personality and ability.
In each of these lines of research, I am eager to collaborate with graduate students and invite their participation on projects of mutual interest.
