Michael A. Campion

Michael A. Campion

Herman C. Krannert Distinguished Professor of Business

I am the Herman C. Krannert Distinguished Professor of Business at Purdue University (since 1986).  I also have 8 years of previous industrial experience (1978-1986) with 4 years each at IBM and Weyerhaeuser Company.  I have an MS and PhD in Industrial and Organizational (I/O) Psychology.  I have over 155 articles in scientific and professional journals, and have given over 260 presentations at professional meetings, on such topics as employment testing, interviewing, mitigating employment discrimination, job analysis, work and team design, training, turnover, promotion, compensation, and artificial intelligence for employment decision making.  I am among the 10 most published authors in the top journals in this field for the last three decades, with over 36,000 Google Scholar citations and over 11,000 Web of Science citations, and I am the second most cited author of over 9000 authors in textbooks in both I/O Psychology and Human Resources Management.[1]  I am the past editor of Personnel Psychology (a top scientific research journal) and past president of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP), both of which are roles that only 1% of I/O Psychologists have the opportunity to perform.  I was promoted to the Herman C. Krannert Chaired Professorship in 2009 and to Distinguished Professorship in 2020 for contributions and productivity in scientific research.  I am also the 2010 winner of the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award given by the SIOP, which is the lifetime scientific contribution award and most prestigious award given by SIOP, and the 2023 winner of the Distinguished Professional Contribution Award given by the SIOP, which is the lifetime professional contribution award.
