Internationally Renowned Master Trainer
Professor Loren J. Naidoo, Ph.D.
Psychology Department, Baruch College, City University of New York
Professor Naidoo received an M.A. and Ph.D. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from The University of Akron in 2005. He is involved in teaching courses in Social Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Research Methods, and Psychometrics and is currently an assistant professor at Baruch College.
Professor Naidoo's approach to research in I/O Psychology flows from his training in the more basic experimental social cognitive perspective. In general, he is interested in understanding human behavior in work contexts by making use of social psychological and social cognitive theories in terms of explaining a variety of organizational phenomena including leadership, motivation, organizational justice, performance appraisal, behavior regulation, decision making and attitude measurement using basic theories of human thought, emotion and social behavior.
Much of his recent research has focused on leadership processes. One specific research interest of his is the emotional and motivational aspects of leader-follower relationships, an exciting and burgeoning area of research in I/O Psychology.
Current projects include:
- the examination of how leader verbal and nonverbal communications elicit motivational orientations in followers which influence their subsequent work performance
- the development of a visualization procedure to improve the emotional content of leadership questionnaire measures thereby improving their criterion-related validity
- the development of an implicit state measure of approach/avoidance motivation
