Hooria Jazaieri is an Assistant Professor of Management at the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University. Prior to joining LSB, she was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. She received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in Social Psychology, her MA from Santa Clara University in Counseling Psychology, and her BS from the University of Washington in Psychology. Outside of academia, she has professional work experience in a variety of industries including tech, consulting, and mental health.
Her research examines individual reputation and emotion. She studies the process of how people gain, lose, and recover their reputations, and how reputational information is stored and communicated in networks. Through a variety of settings ranging from baseball fields, sorority houses, wineries, and Japan, her work examines the content, structure, and dynamics of individual reputation. Her work on emotion centers on discrete emotions (gratitude, hope, compassion) and how people regulate their emotions and the emotions of others. She takes a multi-method approach to her research, employing both qualitative and quantitative methods in experimental laboratory and field settings. Her work has been published in leading academic journals in the fields of management and psychology. In 2022, she was selected by Poets & Quants as one of the Top 50 best business professors. In 2023, she was awarded the Outstanding Faculty Award from the ACE Leadership Program.
