Derek Rohde, PhD
My name is Derek Rohde and I am a Learning and Development Professional in addition to my work for the University of Phoenix. My research interests are varied. I am currently working on research looking at acculturative stress, its impact on immigrant workers, and how this is related to job attitudes and outcomes. I am also interested in the field of Positive Psychology and its effects on worker attitudes and stress responses. I currently have a research paper in progress examining the effects of dispositional optimism and proactive coping, and their buffering effects on emotional exhaustion with low-wage workers. My professional experience revolves around training, leadership development, as well as performance and learning management. I work for a large corporation and am responsible for employee education and development. In this capacity I teach classes around Situational Leadership II, Personality at Work (DISC) and a multitude of competency-driven leadership development classes. I have always loved the field of psychology and graduated from Hamline University in St. Paul Minnesota with a B.A and earned an M.S. and Ph.D. in the field of Industrial and Organizational Psychology in 2006 and January of 2010 respectively.
