Research
Areas of Research
Tunde's research falls under the broad umbrella of Behavioral Ethics in Organizations. His work has looked at morally oriented leadership (positive and negative), moral cognitions, moral emotions, and personality in the workplace. In the leadership stream, he has examined the implications of ethical leadership and abusive leadership for understanding employee attitudes and behaviors at work. In the moral cognitions and emotions stream, Tunde is interested in understanding the roles of constructs such as moral disengagement, moral courage, and moral ownership in explaining employee ethical behavior and decision making. He also examines how experiences of moral emotions, such as envy, resentment, guilt, and shame, influence how employees act in the workplace. In addition, a common thread across many of his studies is understanding the role of moral character personality traits in explaining the behavior of individuals and work teams. The intersect among his lines of research entails understanding how external (leadership) and internal (personality, moral emotions, moral cognitions) factors interact to shape employee conduct. His work has been published in mainstream organizational behavior journals, such as the Journal of Management, Journal of Organizational Behavior, The Leadership Quarterly, Journal of Applied Psychology, and Human Relations.
