Marlon Mooijman

Marlon Mooijman is the Jones School Distinguished Assistant Professor of Management (Organizational Behavior) at the Jones Graduate School of Business, Rice University, and a courtesy faculty member in the Industrial-Organizational Psychology group. Before Rice, he worked at the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University.  

Professor Mooijman studies trust, power, and ethics, which are topics at the heart of leadership—a good leader needs to cultivate trusting relationships, wield power wisely, and ignite people’s moral passions and steer them in the right direction. Bad leaders, in contrast, make life miserable for employees. He studies what makes people good leaders by studying how trust develops in unequal power relationships and how leaders can leverage their understanding of others' moral passions to their benefit. His work has been published in top-outlets such as Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Psychological Science, Nature Human Behavior, Research in Organizational Behavior, and Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes.  

Professor Mooijman teaches Organizational Behavior to undergraduate students and MBA students at the Jones Graduate School of Business, as well as various PhD seminars to PhD students. Besides work, he enjoys bike riding, hiking, drumming, and spending time with his wife, son, and daughter.
