Doctoral program in Organizational Behaviour

[GOURI]

Hi,

I am planning to apply for a Ph. D program in Org. Behavior.. I want to know a couple of things to start out. I have completed my MA in HR Management & Labour Relations and I have 2 years of work-experience as HR Manager.

- Which is a valid exam for Ph. D in Management-GRE or GMAT

- Which are the colleges that I should be looking at which are best for OB- Is there somewhere I can see a list of best colleges for this subject

- What kind of research should I do on the colleges before I apply?

Would be great if anyone who has experience in the same can give some direction.

Thanks in advance!

How much hunting have you done so far? I'm not in that field, so I can only speak in genalities:

Most departments will say on their website which exams they want/expect you to take. Have you already checked U.S. News & World Report grad school listings? I don't know how specific their program rankings get, but they have a lot of them, and their rankings are pretty respected (or at least heavily referenced) here in the U.S.

If you really don't know where to start, my friend is in an industrial-organizational psychology program at the University of Missouri - St. Louis, and you might find something useful on their department website by seeking who they collaborate with.

Good luck!

Check out this website: www.siop.org. It is for I-O psychology (a sister field), but they have a searchable database for grad programs which includes O.B. programs. Good luck!
