Salar Mesdaghinia
PhD Student
Bio
I am a PhD candidate in management at the C.T. Bauer College of Business. I am interested in figuring out why some organizational members (e.g., employees, leaders), and collectives (e.g., workgroups, departments) behave in a prosocial and supportive way whereas others behave in an unethical and exploitative way as well as the consequences of such behaviors within the organizations. Research in this area can contribute to creation of supportive and ethical organizational environments in which employees and organizations both thrive. To fulfill this research goal, I am working at the cross-section of organizational support theory and leadership.
Research Interests
- Perceived follower support (a leadership constructs coming out of organizational support theory)
- Supportive and exploitative leadership
- Virtues, values, beliefs, and emotions that lead to prosocial and antisocial behaviors in organizations
