Hooria Jazaieri, Ph.D.

I am currently an Assistant Professor of Management at the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University. Prior to joining LSB, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. I take a multimethod approach to my research, employing both quantitative and qualitative methods in experimental laboratory and field settings. Broadly, my research examines individual reputation and emotions in workplaces.

I study the process of how people gain, lose, and recover their reputations and how reputational information is stored and communicated in networks. Through a variety of settings, my work examines the content, structure, and dynamics of individual reputation. Currently, I have projects underway looking at the role of gender on reputation in negotiation contexts, and the effect of rank signaling information on perceptions of reputation.

My work on emotion centers on discrete emotions (e.g., gratitude, hope, joy, compassion, awe) and how people regulate their emotions. From Silicon Valley tech companies, hospital ICUs, oncologists, and professional sports, I have projects underway examining the impact of emotion and emotion regulation on resilience in professional sports, organizational cultures of hope, and experiences of expressing and receiving gratitude at work.

My research has been published in leading journals in management and psychology, and featured in Harvard Business Review, the Wall Street Journal, among other outlets.

At the Leavey School of Business, I teach the MBA core course, Business and the Common Good (MGMT 3060) and the MS in Sports Business core course, Sports Leadership (MGMT 3001). I also mentor students for Independent Study / Directed Research (MGMT 3698). In 2022, I was named by Poets&Quants as one of the Top 50 Undergraduate Business Professors. I currently serve on editorial review boards at Organization Science and the Journal of Organizational Behavior, and am the treasurer for Academy of Management’s Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) division.
