Getting to know Tom Kelemen, recent Fulbright Scholar
Written by Tom Kelemen, associate professor, management
I am an organizational behavior scholar who seeks to understand people at work. Specifically, I focus on how an employee’s non-work life influences their work performance and organizational leadership. My prior work has explored how various positive non-work factors, such as supportive partners and pets can benefit employees. I have likewise explored how challenging non-work factors such as divorce and disease can disrupt employees' work lives. My work has also examined various aspects of leadership including leader humility and follower-centric approaches to leadership. Ultimately, all of these different approaches to understanding employees at work are done with the ultimate aim of improving organizations and making employees' lives better.
