Immigrant | Assistant Professor in Org Behavior @HarvardHBS. I study the experience, antecedents, and consequences of passion.

[Jon M Jachimowicz @jonj]

Prior work argues employees benefit from passionate teammates because passion is contagious—it spreads easily from one employee to the next.

In a new paper @ASQJournal, we find that's not quite the full story... 1/8

@alexolegimas @GoogleDeepMind @ShaneLegg amazing, congrats Alex!!

@Phelimb @Prolific Hi Phelim, thank you so much for doing this, and releasing this goes a long way to earning trust. Just to double check, is the metric being used here whether Prolific identifies an AI agent is being used, or whether we / a third-party detects whether an AI agent is being used?

Follow your passion. March to your own drummer. Land your dream job.

We hear this kind of advice all the time. But what happens when the dream job doesn't bring us the satisfaction we imagine? This week, as we continue our You 2.0 series, behavioral scientist @jonj looks at how to keep our passions alive.

🚨 New paper alert 🚨
In my new paper out now in JPSP (w/@brianjlucas & @jonj), we show across 10 studies (including w/nurses, teachers, & PhD students) that people considering giving up a passion pursuit overestimate how harshly others will judge them 🧵 https://t.co/JOBeibug6p

LT is one of the kindest and most insightful scholars I have ever met. I am so glad our paths crossed at HBS, and thrilled that @KelloggSchool landed such a huge catch 🚀

[Letian (LT) Zhang @the1andonlyLT]

I will be leaving HBS and joining Kellogg’s MORS group this summer. I’m very grateful to the amazing HBS community for all the support over the years. Special shoutout to my OB colleagues: it was not an easy decision to leave, and I know I’ll miss each of you dearly.

Excited to share new research published @ASR_Journal with @mabelabraham and @tristanbotelho. We explore how experiencing misrecognition—getting less or more recognition than deserved—influences how people subsequently evaluate others.

There is SO MUCH MORE in this paper—additional data and analyses, theorizing, speculating, & more. I'd strongly encourage you to read the final piece! And massive thanks to co-authors Emma, @kkrttr, & Wen for this amazing (passionate!) collaboration. 8/8
