Doctor of Philososphy [Ph.D] [Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management] From University of Pittsburgh

The Organizational Behavior and Human Resources (OBHR) program 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.
