#MeToo Bots in the workplace

The #MeToo movement shined a light on sexual harassment in the workplace, resulting in powerful individuals throughout every industry being exposed and convicted publicly. But the movement has not necessarily helped people understand that two behaviors—being aggressive and physical assault—are not the only unlawful actions when it comes to mistreatment in the workplace.  Across the […]

The center, which soft-launched in Spring 2020, will be a hub for research, dialogue and innovation.  To get a sense of the past, […]

Workaholics, get a life!

“In intercollegiate athletics and beyond, you put in your hours. Many people believe the only way to get better, to be more successful, is to work harder.” Elizabeth Taylor, assistant professor at the School of Sport, Tourism and Hospitality Management. Do you live to work, or work to live?  Inspired by her own past as […]

Recipe for a “just-right” workplace

No business is perfect. From top-down management to lopsided raises, maintaining a successful business strategy comes with many challenges. The “perfect” organization might seem like a fairytale, but can it be a reality? In-Sue Oh, Charles E. Beury Professor of human resource management at the Fox School, found a recipe for a just-right workplace environment.  […]

The cost of being ignored

The emergence of the “Zoom Happy Hour” was not just a fun distraction from being in quarantine. Socializing with coworkers is an important and necessary component of workplace culture. And not being invited, whether to an after-work bar hop or a call-in video conference, can have an outsized emotional impact on our lives. Ryan Vogel, […]

The “work” in teamwork

Moonsup Hyun, a recent graduate from the PhD in Business Administration program, researches human behavior to uncover deeper connections between sports and the workplace.  Hyun, PhD ’20, wasn’t always sure he wanted to study sport management. It wasn’t until after college in pursuit of his Master’s degree that he discovered his calling. “After graduating from […]

Research retrospective

“The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The next best time is today.” This ancient Chinese proverb applies to ideas as well as habits. A seed planted today can spark change; a seed planted decades ago can disrupt an entire industry.  Faculty experts from the Fox School demonstrate the impact that […]

Diversity does not mean inclusivity: Patrick McKay discusses the importance of both in the workplace

A work environment that is not only diverse but inclusive is essential to the productivity of workers. Patrick F. McKay, the Fox Stanley and Franny Wang Professor of Human Resource Management, believes a diverse work environment is only the first step in helping workers feel comfortable stating their individual ideas. In a conversation with McKay, […]

Legal system failing to protect against identity discrimination, according to Fox School researcher

Caitlyn Jenner identifies as transgender. Tiger Woods identifies as “Cablinasian,” a term he created. What do the television personality and champion golfer have in common? Their racial and gender identities are not easily defined. Like Jenner and Woods, many Americans can relate. A researcher at Temple University’s Fox School of Business posits that employment laws […]

Fox School News & Releases Anger can improve unjust conditions in the workplace, says Fox researcher

There’s an unlikely emotion that acts as the moral compass of a workplace. According to a researcher from Temple University’s Fox School of Business, it’s anger. Dr. Deanna Geddes’ conceptual research delves into moral anger, an emotional expression that is geared toward the improvement of the human condition within the workplace. She and fellow researcher, […]

Fox researcher finds first impressions may have lasting impact

Initial impressions based upon a person’s facial features can significantly impact how we evaluate that person’s behavior, according to research by a professor from Temple University’s Fox School of Business. Dr. Brian Holtz, Assistant Professor of Human Resource Management, conducted three studies, all of which suggested that people were more likely to accept the actions […]

Anger Has a Vital Place in Society and the Workplace, Fox Researcher Posits

A misunderstood emotion, anger plays a vital role in society, including the workplace, according to research by a professor from Temple University’s Fox School of Business. Dr. Deanna Geddes’ research, which explores both the negative and positive aspects of emotions in the workplace, shows anger expression increasingly equated with verbal abuse or non-physical assault, rather […]

Fox Researcher Finds Cynical Employees Affect Work Environment More Than Affirmative Employees

Research by a professor from Temple University’s Fox School of Business found that good vibes in the workplace, unfortunately, might be good for nothing. Dr. In-Sue Oh’s research into organizational behavior and human resources found that organizational cynicism has a greater tendency to impact an employee’s job performance than does organizational trust. Oh’s research is […]

Trusting Communities Tend to Produce More Entrepreneurs

As the saying goes, “A group that works together, stays together.” Therefore, a group or community based on trust can reap benefits from one another. Trusting communities tend to foster self-employed people or entrepreneurs whose successes are one in the same with the community. Self-employment ranges from about 5.7 percent in areas with very low […]
