Ozias A. Moore

Ozias A. Moore is an Assistant Professor of Management in the College of Business at Lehigh University. He has also been a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in the Organizational Behavior subgroup within the Management department. He received his B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Pittsburgh, an M.S. in Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Human Resource Studies from Cornell University.

Ozias’ research spans two key streams of research: one on dynamic team composition, and another on evaluation bias and learning in organizational settings. His major research interests focus on team and multi-team effectiveness. He is particularly interested in the multi-level effects of multiple team membership on team processes, emergent states, and team outcomes. His secondary area of research, which shifts from the team to individual processes and outcomes, focuses on the effects of individual differences that affect perceptions, judgments, and performance. His research has been funded from grants from the United States Air Force.

Ozias has published his research in leading academic journals including the Journal of Applied Psychology, Personnel Psychology, and Small Group Research. In addition, his book chapter (with B. S. Bell), “Preparing Talent for Work: Opportunities and Challenges in Learning, Training, and Development in Organizations" appears in The SAGE Handbook of Industrial, Work, and Organizational Psychology (2nd ed., Vol. 2). He serves on the editorial review board of the Journal of Management Studies, and is a member of the Academy of Management, the Interdisciplinary Network for Group Research, and Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology.

Ozias has received national and university-wide recognition for excellence in teaching and was named among the nation’s “Top 50 Undergraduate Business Professors” by Poets & Quants in 2018. Ozias was also a recipient of the 2018 Lehigh University College of Business Teaching Excellence Award.

His research and teaching are informed by his experience inclusive of key management and executive-level positions at Westinghouse Electric Corporation, IBM Corporation, American Express, Pfizer, Inc. and PMP® (Project Management Professional) certification prior to obtaining his doctorate.
