==Research== ==Research==
Luthans was one of the first management scholars to apply ] to better understanding and effectively manage ] in ]. This evolved into the now widely recognized discipline of ], by far the largest division in the ]. His book Organizational Behavior. (now in its 13th edition), is generally recognized as the first mainline text (1973) in this field. As a scholar of management, Luthans applied ] for the purpose of managing ] in ]. His textbook ''Organizational Behavior'', now in its 14th edition, has been widely used over the years.<ref>Luthans, F. (1973). Organizational behavior. New York: McGraw-Hill.</ref>


Drawing from his ] ] education, Luthans’ first research stream applied ] theory and techniques to improve employee performance. This led to his second seminal book on ] Modification (co-authored with one of his former doctoral students Robert Kreitner in 1975). A ] mainly consisting of his studies indicated a strong relationship between his "O.B. Mod." approach and improved employee performance in both manufacturing and service organizations. A quantitative analysis published in the ] Learning and Education Journal on the importance, scientific validity, and practical usefulness of all theories in the field found Luthans’ Organizational Behavior Modification Theory among the eight highest rated (along with those by ], ], ], ], ], ], and ]). Luthans's initial research applied theories associated with ] and ] to improving employee performance.<ref>Luthans, F., & Kreitner, R. (1975). Organizational behavior modification. Glenview, IL: Scott, Foresman.</ref> A ] mainly consisting of studies he and colleagues conducted indicated a strong relationship between his concept of "organizational behavior modification" (O.B.Mod.)and improved employee performance in both manufacturing and service organizations.<ref>Stajkovic, A., & Luthans, F. (1997). A meta-analysis of the effects of organizational behavior modification on task performance. Academy of Management Journal, 40, 1122-1149.</ref>


In the 1980s, Luthans conducted observational, qualitative/mixed method research on what managers do in their day-to-day activities.<ref>Luthans, F., Hodgetts, R.M., & Rosenkrantz, S. (1988). Real managers. Cambridge, MA: Ballinger.</ref> His research showed the importance of playing the game (e.g., networking, politicking and interacting with outsiders) in order to get ahead in organizations.<ref>Luthans, F. (1988). Successful vs. effective real managers. Academy of Management Executive, 2, 127-132.</ref> This research was summarized in the Luthans, Hodgetts & Rosenkrantz book "Real Managers" (Ballinger, 1988) and has recently been updated and re-published as "Real Managers Revisited" by Hogan Assessment Systems, Inc, 2019.
In the 1980s, Luthans conducted rare observational, qualitative research to answer the questions of "What do managers really do in their day-to-day activities?"; "What do successful managers (those who rise rapidly in their organizations) really do?"; and "What do effective managers (those who have satisfied and committed employees and high quantity and quality outcomes in their units) really do?" This led to his third book Real Managers (1988). His research found that the relatively most frequently observed activity contributing to managers’ success was their ] skills (defined behaviorally from ] ] to be socializing/politicking and interacting with outsiders). Effective managers, on the other hand, were observed to give relatively most frequent attention to communicating and human resource management activities, with networking given the least attention. This finding that managers who were successful exhibited quite different behavioral activities than did their effective counterparts challenged conventional wisdom that promotions are based on doing activities that result in effective outcomes. This research empirically demonstrated the importance of playing the game (networking and politicking) in order to get ahead in organizations.The findings of this Real Managers study are the basis of a new version of the book which will be released by Hogan Assessments in 2018 with a new modern framing chapter by Robert Hogan.


In the 1990s, with ] taking the forefront in the management field, Luthans’ research took on an international focus and resulted in his next major book (co-authored with now deceased Richard Hodgetts and now Jonathan Doh) International Management (1991, now in its eighth edition). Luthans previous work in both behavioral management and managerial activities were tested in other cultures, mainly Asia and Eastern Europe. In the 1990s, with ] taking the forefront in the management field, Luthans's research also took on an international focus and resulted in his 1991 book (co-authored with Richard Hodgetts and, in later editions, Jonathan Doh) ''International Management'' (now in 12th Edition, McGraw-Hill).<ref>Luthans, F., & Hodgetts, R.M.

During this period he also focused on taking Bandura's social learning theories and research to the workplace.


Luthans founded and with colleagues conducted research on ], or PsyCap. This second-order, core construct of PsyCap is composed of the criteria meeting (theory/research, valid measurement, state-like/open-to-development, desired impact) first-order psychological resources of ], ], ], and ] or the "HERO Within".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Luthans |first1=Fred |last2=Youssef |first2=Carolyn M. |last3=Avolio |first3=Bruce J. |title=Psychological Capital: Developing the Human Competitive Edge |date=2006 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=9780195187526}}</ref> The initial research found that overall PsyCap is more closely related to both performance and satisfaction than is each of the individual components.<ref>Luthans, F., Avolio, B., Avey, J., & Norman, S.

In recent years, drawing from the ] movement and his own early research on positive ] and, with former doctoral student Alex Stajkovic, on ] (their ] published in 1998 indicating a very strong relationship between ] and work-related performance is one of the most cited in the entire field), Luthans founded, defined, built theory and conducted basic research on what he terms ] or simply POB. With former doctoral student Carolyn Youssef-Morgan and colleague ], this work resulted in the Oxford University Press book Psychological Capital (2007) and the expanded/updated Psychological Capital and Beyond.

This ] or simply PsyCap is made up of positive psychological resources of ], ], ], and ], or the HERO within. These four PsyCap components have been determined to best meet his POB inclusion criteria of being theory/research-based, having valid measurement, being state-like/open to development, and having desirable impact. Luthans and colleagues research has demonstrated that this PsyCap is a higher order, core construct. Each of the four dimensions has been found to load onto the overall core factor of PsyCap, which in turn has been more consistently related to both performance and satisfaction than each of the individual components. The key differentiator between PsyCap and most other positive constructs is that it is "state-like" and open to development. Luthans and colleagues (especially former doctoral students James Avey, Suzanne Peterson and Carolyn Youssef-Morgan) research has demonstrated that, compared to randomly assigned control groups, PsyCap can be developed in relatively short (2-3 hour) intervention workshops. Luthans and colleagues utility analysis of investing in and developing psychological capital has to date yielded a very high (270% in one study) what they call return on development (ROD). This work on PsyCap has resulted in Luthans receiving the 2008 Outstanding Research and Creative Activity (ORCA).<ref>http://nebraska.edu/recognition-and-awards/orca.html</ref> Award from the ] system and numerous citations (e.g., in 2017 made Top 1% Web of Science Citation List of all researchers and recently Google Scholar profile indicted about 55,000 citations, H-index of 90 and i-10 index of 214.

Fred Luthans (born June 28, 1939, in Clinton, Iowa) is a management professor specializing in organizational behavior. He is the university and George Holmes Distinguished Professor of Management, emeritus at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

Education

Luthans graduated from the University of Iowa with a B.A. in mathematics in 1961, an MBA in 1962, and a Ph.D. in management and psychology in 1965. Iowa Professors Henry Albers and Max Wortman were his PhD academic advisers. He took post-doctoral seminars in management at Columbia University while serving in the United States Army stationed at the United States Military Academy, West Point.

Academic career

After serving as an Army captain teaching psychology and leadership to cadets at West Point from 1965 to 1967, Luthans joined the faculty of the Department of Management at the University of Nebraska, where he remained for his entire academic career. In 1986, he was elected president of the Academy of Management. In 1997, he received the academy's Distinguished Management Educator Award, in 2017 received the Organizational Behavior Division's Lifetime Achievement Award, and in 2022 the Distinguished Scholarly Contributions to Management Award.

Research

As a scholar of management, Luthans applied behavioral science for the purpose of managing human behavior in organizations. His textbook Organizational Behavior, now in its 14th edition, has been widely used over the years.

Luthans's initial research applied theories associated with positive reinforcement and behaviorism to improving employee performance. A meta-analysis mainly consisting of studies he and colleagues conducted indicated a strong relationship between his concept of "organizational behavior modification" (O.B.Mod.)and improved employee performance in both manufacturing and service organizations.

In the 1980s, Luthans conducted observational, qualitative/mixed method research on what managers do in their day-to-day activities. His research showed the importance of playing the game (e.g., networking, politicking and interacting with outsiders) in order to get ahead in organizations. This research was summarized in the Luthans, Hodgetts & Rosenkrantz book "Real Managers" (Ballinger, 1988) and has recently been updated and re-published as "Real Managers Revisited" by Hogan Assessment Systems, Inc, 2019.

In the 1990s, with globalization taking the forefront in the management field, Luthans's research also took on an international focus and resulted in his 1991 book (co-authored with Richard Hodgetts and, in later editions, Jonathan Doh) International Management (now in 12th Edition, McGraw-Hill). Luthans previous work in both behavioral management and managerial activities were tested in other cultures, mainly Asia and Eastern Europe. During this period he also focused on taking Bandura's social learning theories and research to the workplace.

Luthans founded and with colleagues conducted research on positive psychological capital, or PsyCap. This second-order, core construct of PsyCap is composed of the criteria meeting (theory/research, valid measurement, state-like/open-to-development, desired impact) first-order psychological resources of hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism or the "HERO Within". The initial research found that overall PsyCap is more closely related to both performance and satisfaction than is each of the individual components. Through basic research published in peer-reviewed academic journals, Luthans and colleagues research have demonstrated that PsyCap is open to development and can be improved with self- and group training and is significantly related to desired work-related attitudes, behaviors and performance, and more recently various dimensions of well-being. This research effort has resulted in Luthans recognition by the Web of Science as being in the 2017 Top 1% of Citations of researchers in all fields in the world and, in a 2018 analysis conducted by Aguinis et al. published in AMLE, he was found to be #1 in citations in Organizational Behavior textbooks. In the spring of 2023, his Google Scholar Profile indicates over 143,000 citations, h-index of 120 (120 publications with 120 or more citations), and i-10 index of 286 (286 publications with 10 or more citations).
