Research Interest Teams and team leadership; newcomer socialization; interviews and selection

Teaching Experience Organizational behavior, managing human resources

Dissertation Topic Brad is working to develop a new model of team leadership. Specifically, Brad’s dissertation model moves beyond using dyadic models at the team-level, but instead argues that leaders must shift their focus across three different entities: individuals, the team as a whole, and subgroups within the team. A key contingency, task interdependence, moderates the relationship between leader focus and team effectiveness.

Research Brief: How Strongly Do Cultural Values Explain Important Employee Outcomes?

Along with co-authors Vas Taras (University of North Carolina Greensboro) and Piers Steel (University of Calgary), Bradley Kirkman pub-lished an article entitled, “Examining the impact of Culture’s Consequences: A three-decade, multi-level, meta-analytic review of Hofstede’s cultural value dimensions” as a Monograph in the May 2010 issue of Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP), the first article designated as a JAP Monograph in more than a decade. Commenting on what makes an article worthy of a Monograph in his first editorial as JAP editor, Professor Steve Kozlowski said, “Monographs are broad and deep meta-theoretical treatments of a topic area” and can “represent the ‘systematic ac-cumulation, analysis, and reflective interpretation of the full body of relevant empirical evidence related to a question’ (Rousseau, Manning, & Denyer, 2008, p. 475).”

Kirkman and his co-authors meta-analyze almost 600 studies of more than 200,000 individuals that used measures of Hofstede’s four original cultural value dimensions (i.e., individualism-collectivism, power distance, masculinity-femininity, and uncertainty avoidance) to answer mul-tiple questions such as: how does the predictive power of the values compare to other commonly used predictors of employee outcomes such as personality, cognitive ability, and demographics; what types of employee outcomes are best predicted by cultural values; and does the predictive power of cultural values depend on employee demographics (i.e., age, sex, education, managers vs. students), type of data used (i.e., primary vs. secondary), or cultural tightness-looseness? Findings indicate that culture: matters as much for some outcomes as do the other commonly used predictors; predicts certain employee outcomes (e.g., emotions, attitudes and perceptions) better than others (e.g., behaviors, job performance); are stronger predictors for older, male, better educated, and managerial populations; and predict more strongly for countries that have tighter, rather than looser, cultures.

Research Interests Interviews and selection; withdrawal, job search, and turnover; recruitment

Brian was the recipient of the Dean’s Award for Outstanding Research by a Doctoral Student in 2011.

Teaching Experience Managing human resources

Dissertation Topic His dissertation “Applicant attitudes across the recruitment process: Time is of the essence” examines how applicant attitudes towards future employers develop over the course of the recruitment process as well as potentially divergent patterns of development of these applicant attitudes by examining taking a job offer and passing on a job offer as two separate decision-making processes.

Other Research Brian’s work on the selection interviews centers on various social elements inherent in the interview (i.e., first impressions) and their influence on subsequent interview outcomes. His work on employee withdrawal examines various factors that help explain under what conditions employees search for new jobs, miss work, or turnover.
