Weissman School of Arts and Sciences

Leadership Processes Lab

The purpose of the social and cognitive processes in I/O psychology lab is to investigate work behavior using theory and methods from social psychology, human motivation, and cognitive psychology. Areas of interest include leadership, leader-follower relationships, employee motivation and performance, stress and burnout, learning, organizational justice, self-regulation, and emotions.

Current projects include the examination of how leader verbal and nonverbal communications elicit motivational orientations in followers which influence their subsequent work performance, an investigation of rhetoric in political leadership, and the effects of leader emotions, goal orientations, and framing on follower individual and group level performance, and the impact of motivational dispositions on workplace health and learning.

Doctoral, Master, and undergraduate students all play vital roles in helping to design and carry out the psychological research conducted in the lab.

Students interested in joining the lab are encouraged to contact Dr. Loren Naidoo.
