Richard Perlow

Richard Perlow serves as Dean and Professor in the Department of Management and Organizations at MacEwan University's School of Business in Edmonton, Alberta. His academic career centers on organizational dynamics, human resource systems, and individual performance within workplace contexts.

Perlow's research specializes in counterproductive work behaviour, employment discrimination, and individual differences in performance. He investigates how leadership relationships, demographic factors, and cognitive abilities shape workplace conduct and outcomes. His work bridges industrial-organizational psychology with practical HR applications, particularly examining discrimination mechanisms related to religion, gender, and race in employment settings.

His publication timeline (1992-2024) reveals consistent focus on workplace behavior drivers, with recent studies (2024) analyzing counterproductive behavior through leader-member exchange theory and discrimination predictors based on Muslim gender identity. Earlier works explored cognitive aspects of skill acquisition (2018), assessment methodologies (2012), and foundational predictors of employment discrimination (2001), demonstrating longitudinal commitment to understanding systemic and individual factors in organizational behavior.
