Overview

Research

By reading highlights of their research you will see why Katz faculty is internationally recognized as experts in their fields and have published in prestigious academic journals such as Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, and Organization Science.

We like to conduct research in collaboration with our students. Doctoral students co-author research articles with faculty, work with faculty on data collection, and analysis and join in sponsored research projects.

The Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management program at the University of Pittsburgh focuses on key contemporary topics related to the management of work in organizations.

Our faculty are at the forefront of research examining how work and knowledge are conceptualized and managed in organizations, employee and group factors that drive organizational success, organizational and societal influences on a broad range of worker outcomes, and the role of social responsibility in organizational and employee performance.

We specialize in both quantitative and qualitative methods, and data collection from laboratory, archival, and field-based sources.

Through rigorous coursework, our students develop a multi-disciplinary understanding of the core theoretical foundations of the OBHR fields, as well as the methodological grounding to undertake rigorous empirical research.
