秘密研究所

I-Heng (Ray) Wu is an assistant professor of management in the Mitchell College of Business, 秘密研究所. His research program focuses on the 鈥渄ark side鈥� of organizational behavior, encapsulating emotions, traits, and individuals that society and organizations generally deem unwelcome, undesirable, and/or stigmatized. He is particularly interested in identifying the bright sides of these dark phenomena, to foster a more holistic understanding of such phenomena and prevent unnecessary stigma toward them. Ultimately, he hopes to create engaging, respectful, and inclusive workplaces for employees and managers. His research has been published in journals such as Journal of Applied Psychology and Journal of Organizational Behavior, and has received grants, awards, and media attention. 

Dr. Wu enjoys teaching as much as he enjoys conducting research. He believes that students learn most effectively through the engaging delivery of clear and relevant materials, the provision of opportunities to develop critical thinking, and a sense of caring and individualization. Overall, he has taught classes of various sizes, content areas, formats (in-person, online), durations (16 weeks, 6 weeks), and levels (undergraduate, masters, doctoral). For his teaching, Dr. Wu has received an Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award from the University of Iowa and recognitions from the University of South Alabama鈥檚 Thank-A-Teacher and Faculty Spotlight programs. More recently, he was recognized for Poets&Quants For Undergrads鈥� 50 Best Undergrad Professors for 2024.

Dr. Wu currently serves on the editorial boards of Human Relations and Journal of Organizational Behavior. He also regularly reviews submissions to journals like Human Relations, Human Resource Management, Journal of Business and Psychology, and Journal of Organizational Behavior. In 2022-2023, he participated in the first cohort of the Journal of Business and Psychology Scholars program, designed to increase the participation of scholars of color in journal and editorial leadership roles through a series of workshops and journal reviews.
