SHAHIDUL (RUSSELL) HASSAN

Welcome to my site. I currently serve as Professor and Wolf Chair in Public Affairs at The Ohio State University's (OSU) John Glenn College of Public Affairs. I received my Ph.D. in 2010 from the University at Albany (SUNY) with a concentration in Organizational Behavior. I am affiliated with OSU's Criminal Justice Research Center and Michigan State University Police Staffing Research Observatory. I am also affiliated with the University of North Carolina's Local Government Workplace Research Initiative and Arizona State University's Center for Organization Research and Design. From 2021-2023, I was a visiting professor at the Department of Management at Aarhus University (Denmark).  

My research bridges the fields of Public Management and Organizational Behavior. Over the past decade, I have done extensive research on the influence of value-based managerial practices in public organizations. Another longstanding area of work is how social identity and relational differences shape interpersonal experiences, organizational perceptions, and job outcomes of minoritized workers. An emerging line of my work focuses on the impact of job demands and resources on work motivation, commitment, and performance of law enforcement officers.  While my work focuses largely on state and local government organizations in the United States, I have a keen interest in comparative public management and policy issues, particularly in South Asia. 

My research has appeared in a wide range of outlets including the British Journal of Criminology, International Public Management Journal, Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, Journal of Business Ethics, Journal of Interpersonal Violence, Journal of Managerial Psychology, Journal of Leadership and Organization Studies, Policing, Public Administration Review, and Public Management Review. I currently serve as a co-editor of the International Public Management Journal. I was the 2019-2020 Division Chair of the Public and Nonprofit Division of the Academy of Management and the Communications Secretary of the International Research Society for Public Management (2014-2020).
