"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."
Research
Research interests include work-family conflict,
leadership, performance appraisal, and job satisfaction.

"Krannert has an extremely
well-developed OBHR program that is built upon rigorous
theoretical and methodological training that are both
essential for effective scholarship. Furthermore, its
faculty has a long tradition of publishing research in
top-tier journals in collaboration with its doctoral
students."

Research interests include
personality, organizational justice, legal issues in HR, and
power and influence. Particularly interested in
dispositional and situational factors that contribute to
employees' decisions to seek formal avenues of dispute
resolution such as filing an EEOC complaint or a lawsuit
against their employer.

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.

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."

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.
