The research interests of the faculty are quite broad. For example,
work is being done on defining the domain of performance in
organizations, employee selection, performance appraisal, goal
setting and incentives, aging, dispositions and job satisfaction,
corporate governance, health care, innovation processes,
organizational control and executive compensation practices, agency
theory, and organizational processes. Faculty often work on
interdisciplinary projects with other departments.
In addition, the student has exposure to scholars and faculty
members from other universities, and from other departments in
the University, who are invited to give workshops in the
Department.
Breadth Requirement––All students pursuing the Ph.D. are
