The School of Business is celebrating management professor John E. Mathieu for reaching an extraordinary milestone in scholarly research.<\/p>\n
Mathieu reached an h-index of 100 on Google Scholar, meaning that 100 of his publications have each been cited at least 100 times. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an extraordinary marker of sustained influence and a reflection of a career that has helped shape the study of management and organizational behavior for decades, serving both researchers and practitioners,\u2019\u2019 said David Bergman, Associate Dean for Faculty & Research at the School of Business. <\/p>\n
\u201cHis scholarship has helped shape major conversations in leadership, training effectiveness, team and multi-team systems, and cross-level models of organizational behavior,\u2019\u2019 Bergman said. \u201cWe are enormously proud of John\u2019s achievements.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
To achieve an h-index of 100 is exceptional and extraordinarily rare, Bergman said. As just one example, in a 2023 study in the Australian Journal of Management, researchers reported a mean h-index of 9.52; 75th percentile of 13; and a 90th percentile of 21.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy any reasonable benchmark, and especially within management scholarship, an h-index of 100 is exceptional,\u2019\u2019 Bergman said.<\/p>\n
Mathieu\u2019s work has influenced Fortune 500 companies, the U.S. Armed Services, and public agencies including NASA, the FAA, and the U.S. Department of Transportation. He has served as principal investigator or co-principal investigator on grants and contracts totaling approximately $13 million.<\/p>\n
Mathieu, a UConn Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor and the GE Professor in Management, said he is flattered and humbled by the recognition.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese accolades don’t belong to me alone. They are really the product of the collective. I have been fortunate to surround myself with gifted and dedicated colleagues and Ph.D. students,” he said.<\/p>\n
Across UConn and throughout the broader research community, Mathieu is also widely admired as a role model and mentor whose generosity has shaped the careers of students, junior faculty, and colleagues alike. <\/p>\n
\u201cJohn is the kind of scholar and colleague who elevates everyone around him,\u201d Bergman said. \u201cHe is world-class in his research, but just as importantly, he is incredibly generous with his time, advice, and support.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has helped shape not only what scholars\u2019 study, but also how they grow, collaborate, and contribute,\u2019\u2019 Bergman continued. \u201cHe serves as a role model and mentor for so many people across the School of Business and throughout the broader research community. John\u2019s achievements stand as a rare measure of excellence and enduring impact.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
Mathieu has frequently been honored with lifetime achievement and other top awards. In 2025, he was selected to receive the Academy of Management\u2019s Organizational Behavior Lifetime Achievement Award. Three years prior, Mathieu earned the Academy of Management Research Methods Division Distinguished Career Award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
