| Brief Bio: | ||
| Dr. Horvath received his undergraduate degree in psychology from Bowling Green State University, followed by his masters and PhD in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from Michigan State University. After completing his education, he worked for several years at Clemson University before finally returning to Ohio to join the psychology department at Cleveland State in 2007.
As a member of the Industrial-Organizational Research group at Cleveland State, Dr. Horvath researches and applies psychological principles in the work world. His primary interest is in different types of employee attitudes and motivation (such as the motivation of job applicants or trainees). In collaboration with his mentors, colleagues, and graduate students, Dr. Horvath has also applied his skills to address real-world issues for organizations such as Michelin, Torrington, Microsoft, Ford, and the City of Columbus, Ohio. Finally, Dr. Horvath is an active member of his professional community. As a member of the Education and Training Committee of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology, he recently led a team that runs a web-based resource for instructors of I-O psychology, where they can find (and post) syllabi, exercises, and other information. He is also an active reviewer for professional journals and conferences. | ||

| Research Interests: | ||
| Dr. Horvath's research interests can be loosely categorized as the study of work-related motivation and attitudes. More specifically, his research tends to fall into three categories (see the sample research questions below):
1) Work / nonwork balance: How do people attempt to manage the boundaries between work and nonwork activities? What effects do these efforts have on factors such as job and life satisfaction? 2) Spirituality in the workplace: What influence does one's religion have on workplace cognition and behavior (such as work-nonwork balance and forgiveness for workplace offenses)? 3) Job Applicant Motivation and Attitudes: How does the type of recruitment medium (such as newspaper ads vs. Internet websites vs. personal networking) affect applicant quality, attitudes, and behavior? How does a perception that one is 'called' to a vocation affect job-seeking, as well as posthire behavior? How does fair treatment during the hiring process affect applicant outcomes? | ||
