Krannert Building

One of the few buildings on campus not made of red brick, the Krannert School of Management boasts highly-ranked undergraduate and graduate programs. A $1.5-million donation by Herman and Ellnora Krannert in the 1960s helped fund the construction of the building that features a library of more than 7,600 rare books related to economics, including a first edition of Adam Smith's An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, printed in 1776.

"I am impressed with the structure of the Krannert OBHR PhD program.  New students are immediately exposed to research and the publication process in their courses and through meeting with and working with the productive faculty.  In addition, the OBHR 606 practicum encourages students to be actively involved in research in their first year of program."

S. Duane Hansen

4th Year Student

"I really appreciate the empowering environment of the OBHR PhD program here at Purdue and the time that the professors are willing to spend training PhD students."

 

Research

I am interested in understanding both when (under what circumstances) and how (by what means) trusting relationships develop between leaders and subordinates in organizations.  From a practical standpoint, I am also interested in what leaders can do to facilitate the development of these relationships.  I have presented papers related to these topics at the Academy of Management (AOM) and the Academy of International Business (AIB) annual meetings.

Won Jun Kwak

4th Year Student

"Our program places a premium on excellence in both teaching and scholarly research.  The OBHR faculty members have been very helpful and supportive for me to find and pursue what I really want to study."

 

Research

My current research interests include empowering leadership, leader-member exchange (LMX), empowerment, and social contexts in performance appraisal.  Is my dissertation, I investigate how a leader would influence subordinates through specific empowering behaviors.

David L. Taylor

2nd Year Student

"Our PhD program here at Krannert seems designed to help students succeed in research by combining the right mix of faculty support with self study.  With a Krannert PhD in OBHR, students will develop a strong foundation for a career in scientific exploration."

 

 

 

Research

Research interests include social exchange and dyadic relationships with particular interest in social capital, trust, and leadership.  As part of my interest in dyadic relationships, I have a secondary interest in work-to-family issues.

Draft Papers:  Team Capital: How Teams Use Social Capital; Work-to-Family Spillover in Dual Income Partnerships; Cognition and Creativity: A Theory of Team Level Insight; Destructive Leadership:  The Role of Intent
