Jamie L Gloor is an experienced, international researcher, educator and mentor. She is American born but currently resides in Zurich, Switzerland. Her research interests focus on individual and organizational health, including publications on diversity and leadership and research experience at prestigious universities across four different continents.
Exciting news, research, updates, & events!
I am absolutely honored and still in utter disbelief that the Swiss National Science Foundation has awarded me with a 1.2million PRIMA grant to form a small team to study extra-curricular and network-based paths to (more diverse) leadership. I’ll be working closely with the Centre for Diversity & Inclusion at the University of St. Gallen for 5 years, starting in Janury 2021.
More info coming soon-follow the project here for updates!
“Help when dads need somebody? Follower reactions to leader work-family conflict” has won “Best Paper” from the Organizational Behavior (OB) division. This work was authored by Jamie Gloor (University of Exeter & University of Zurich), Susanne Braun (Durham University), Jenny Hoobler (University of Pretoria), and Claudia Peus (Technical University of Munich).*
“Critical events at a critical time: Setbacks and shocks in early academic career stages” has won “Best Symposium” from the Management Education and Development (MED) division. This work was organized by Stephanie Rehbock (Technical University of Munich) and Jamie Gloor (University of Exeter & University of Zurich); it also included a paper, “Men and Women’s Identity Work in response to Private- and Work-Shocks Over Time” (also coauthored by Stephanie Rehbock, Jamie Gloor, & Ronit Kark - Bar Ilan University).*
*Unfortunately, the latter two could not be listed in the formal program due to AOM’s rule-of-three.
My future of work will be researching the future of work and leadership at the University of Exeter Business School in Exeter, England, as Senior Lecturer (tenured).
If the name doesn’t sound familiar because of it’s well-ranked research and teaching programs, it might sound familiar as the school where writing legend and Harry Potter creator, JK Rowling, studied.
Tune-in here for our recent session on AI & Leadership at Applied Machine Learning Days.
Thanks again for the invitation, Marisa Tschopp and Simon Schafheitle. So much fun and food for thought!

Join us in Lausanne for our “AI & Leadership” track on Monday, January 27 (1:30-5PM).
I’ll present at 2:40 about why soft skills such as humor are still–if not even more–important than ever, with applications to robot leadership and AI in hiring/recruitment processes.
Get your tickets here TODAY for our track and others, including keynotes from Edward Snowden.
Had the honor of presenting "Can funny people get ahead?" at Goldman Sachs in Zurich (with a virtual connection to the Geneva office) last week. Welcomed a big (standing room only in the back!), bright group with great questions about leveraging workplace humor for effective teamwork and leadership.
We were delighted to welcome comedian and medical doctor, Fabian Unteregger, as a guest lecturer for our business administration master seminar, “No funny business? Leadership soft skills for a digital, dispersed, and diverse age” at the University of Zurich.
After I presented an overview of the current science on behavioral humor, Fabian presented tips and tricks of successful humor use in professional settings. By the way, he also scored a 4/4 (100%) on our pop quiz that day, showing that my students aren’t the only ones who are soft skills experts!
What a fun (and funny) way to learn about leadership soft skills with this scholar-comedian combo.
What a terrific conference last week on improving #gender #equality with #behavioral #insights from Leonie Nicks, #fieldinterventions in the Global South, cross-cultural assessments in up to 60 countries and everything in-between!
Delighted to have had the chance to present our new #maybebaby research with Tyler Okimoto and Eden King.
Thanks again, Belle Derks, Floor Rink, Ruth van Veelen, Francesca Manzi, and Elena Bacchini for your organization, insights, and inspiration, and to everyone who attended/presented at lovely Utrecht University (e.g., Michelle Ryan, Jaime Napier, Janine Bosak, Tanja Hentschel, Clara Kulich, Christopher Begeny, Renata Bongiorno, Jenny Veldman, Loes Meeussen, Melissa Vink, Regina Dutz, and more!). Starting the week very energized!
What an amazing, whirlwind experience in Boston as 11,000+ scholars, practitioners, and policy makers convened in Boston to share and discuss, connect and reconnect.
Rashpal Dhensa-Khalon (Surrey) and I organized a symposium on workplace humor within and across hierarchies, which we shared with a full house (despite the 8AM Tuesday time slot). Within the symposium, I also presented my paper on humor and diversity (coauthored with Lynn Bowes-Sperry and Cecily Cooper, based on a project with Agnes Baeker with research assistance from Felix Wuethrich and Ramon Gmuer). Finally, Cecily Cooper (Miami - see below) tied the 4 papers within the symposium together with thoughtfulness and finesse; no joke–she is surely one of the best discussants in the land!
Kate Frear (SMU) and Sam Paustian-Underdahl (FSU) included my research with Tyler Okimoto (UQ), Xinxin Li (Shanghai Jiao Tong), and Brooke Gazdag (LMU) on how higher organizational identification predicts less gender discrimination at work in their symposium on gender bias. We were delighted to be included among stellar scholars such as Natalya Alonso (UBC), Ivona Hideg (Wilfrid Laurier), Shannon Cheng (Rice), and Jasmien Khattab (UVA).
Gender discrimination, of course, isn’t funny…but the photo (below) from the symposium sure is!
And finally, have you ever wondered who's conducting award-winning international management practices and research? Who's on the AOM International Theme Committee (ITC) Executive Board, responsible for selecting and honoring these practices and papers? Today's your lucky day! 👇
We were delighted to welcome a room full of scholars and practitioners at our reception last week in Boston, where we honored the following persons: 👏
1. PTC-ITC International Impactful Collaboration Award: Jeroen Veldman (Mines ParisTech), Hugh Willmott (Cass), & Filip Gregor (Responsible Companies Section)

Thanks again to the divisions for their nominations, to the reviewers who supported our selections, to all of the amazing practitioners and scholars who were nominated, as well as to our ITC committee members for their hard work and enthusiasm (pictured below). 💪
