 The Glass Ceiling | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Mike interviews Jenny Hoobler about why the glass ceiling effect still persists for executive women. Jenny talks about the results of her study that show that managers tend to perceive women as having lower levels of fit with their jobs because they perceive them to have high levels of family-to-work conflict. (Interestingly, this effect holds even for women who were single and had no children!) As a result, women whose managers perceived them as not being a good fit for their jobs were promoted less often. Jenny M. Hoobler (Ph.D., University of Kentucky) is Associate Professor of Management at University of Illinois at Chicago. She has published 8 journal articles on gender, diversity, and work and family intersections since receiving her Ph.D. Her current projects continue to focus on the importance of bosses’ perceptions in women’s career progress. In a large grant-funded project on this topic, she and colleagues at UIC test whether when bosses are presented with objective indicators of women’s career success (e.g., salary histories), they are less likely to engage in career-limiting biases. She has received 3 Best Paper Awards at the Southern Management Association, serves on two editorial boards, and was elected to the executive committee of the Human Resource Division of the Academy of Management. She and her husband Ryan live with their dog, Indie, in Chicago’s Little Italy.   You can download the podcast by clicking here.

 Does Your Boss Trust You: Interview with Sabrina Deutsch Salamon | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Morela interviews Sabrina Deutsch Salamon about her research on trust and the advantageous effects that nurturing manager trust in employees may have on organizational performance. Sabrina proposes that employees who feel trusted by their managers think more about how to achieve organizational goals in a manner that does not hurt the organization, rather than about how to maximize their personal objectives with little regard for the organization.

 Necessary Evils | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

 Charismatic Leadership and Emotions - Interview with Amir Erez | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Mike interviews Amir Erez of the University of Florida regarding two studies he recently performed examining how charismatic leaders influence their followers through emotional contagion.

S. at the Industrial and Labor Relations School at Cornell University. He attended the Hebrew University of Jerusalem where he earned his B. A. in Business Administration and Philosophy and an M. A. in Philosophy. His research focuses on how positive moods and positive personality, influence individuals thought processes, motivation, and work behaviors.

 Team Downsizing: Interview with Scott DeRue | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Morela interviews Scott DeRue about a study he and his team recently conducted that examined how different structural approaches to downsizing affect team adaptation. Testing three approaches where either a junior team member or the team leader is downsized, they find that only the Eliminating Hierarchy approach (downsizing the team leader) provided enough of a trigger for teams to meaningfully adapt. Additionally, they find that teams composed of members high in extraversion and emotional stability adapted most effectively. Scott DeRue is an Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations at the University of Michigan Stephen M. Ross School of Business. Scott's research and teaching interests are in the areas of leadership and teamwork. His research seeks to understand how leaders and teams in organizations adapt, learn and develop over time. His research has been published in journals such as the Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Applied Psychology, Leadership Quarterly, and the Human Resource Management Journal.

 Escalation of Commitment: Interview with Niro Sivanathan | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Mike interviews Niro Sivanathan about a study he and his colleagues recently conducted on the phenomenon of escalation of commitment, where people invest additional resources in failing projects.

 Future Lock-in: Interview with Todd Rogers | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Mike interviews Todd Rogers about a series of laboratory experiments he and co-author Max Bazerman performed on the future lock-in effect. They found that people are more likely to choose what they think they should when the decision will be implemented in the distant future.
