Do you view your toxic boss as successful? This perspective makes you more likely to label their abuse as “tough love,” according to a new study from Robert Lount, professor of management and human resources, and Bennett Tepper, the Irving Abramowitz Memorial Professor in Management and Human Resources.

For successful bosses, abuse in the workplace can sometimes be seen as just 'tough love.' New research from Management and Human Resources Professors Robert Lount and Bennett Tepper shows that workers were less likely to show hostility to abusive

Research by Fisher's Jasmine Hu adds further context to recent findings that American married women are not being afforded the same remote working opportunities as their husbands, and more men are now working remotely from home than women. Hu's research revealed insights into division of labor at home among remote-working men, and women's feelings about spending more time in the office.

New York authorities have accused the NRA, Wayne LaPierre and three of his current or former colleagues of squandering millions of dollars the gun group had obtained from its members.

Leaders who consider themselves merely tough bosses must realize that not everyone sees them the same way. Understanding toxic leadership is the first step toward eradicating it, and groundbreaking research by Bennett Tepper, the Abramowitz Memorial Professor and senior associate dean for faculty and research at Fisher, outlines toxic behaviors.

Professor of Management and Human Resources Howard Klein says resolutions can be supported by an accountability partner, but not just anyone will do. “You want to be dedicated and unwilling to give up on your goal, which is more likely when you share that goal with someone you look up to.”

A new study by Selin Malkoc, professor of marketing and logistics, may reveal part of the reason why conservatives are more likely than liberals to reject some COVID-19 health measures: They see boundaries as restrictions, as opposed to guidance.

As many of us worked from home during the pandemic, it became evident that things were not particularly equal, even among dual-earner couples. "We found that men and women don't have the same experience working from home," said Jasmine Hu, part of the research team that explored gender differences in WFH experiences. "There are still some gendered differences in how they manage their job and family responsibilities."

New research from Management and Human Resources Professor Jasmine Hu finds that leaders reap benefits when they reflect on — and learn from — their mistakes.

Men do fewer domestic chores if both they and their wife are working from home, according to research from Fisher's Jasmine Hu.

A new study from Professor of Management and Human Resources Jasmine Hu found "gendered differences" in how working husbands and wives experience remote work and flexible schedules.

However, when wives worked from home, husbands performed less housework. This was not the case for wives when their husbands worked from home.

“We found that men and women don’t have the same experience working from home,” said Jasmine Hu, professor of management and human resources and the lead author of a new study that examined gender role differences in China and South Korea. “There are still some gendered differences in how they manage their job and family responsibilities.”

Many established scholars see their careers flounder because they fail to stay up-to-date and do not work hard to find productive new uses of their time, writes Michael S. Weisbach, the Ralph Kurtz Chair in Finance at Fisher.
