Brian S. Connelly
Bio
Brian Connelly is an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior and Human Resources Management in the Department of Management at the University of Toronto-Scarborough, with a cross-appointment to the Organization Behavior and HR area at Rotman. His research examines how organizations can best use personality measures to solve workplace challenges, particularly in employee selection and development. In current and on-going research, he has used personality ratings from others (e.g., one’s peers, friends, or family) to study the limitations of self-knowledge, how first impressions are formed, the way people “fake” personality measures and the structure of personality.

Research and Teaching Interests
My teaching interests are in the area of Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management, and Research/Quantitative Methods. My research examines the theory and organizational measurement of individual difference determinants of workplace performance (and, more specifically, personality traits). In particular, I am interested in the implications and applications of these individual differences in personnel selection, employee development, and organizational behavior.
