Oguz Gencay
Ph.D. Candidate of Organizational Behavior
Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland
Nice to Meet You!
Welcome! I am Oguz Gencay, a Ph.D. candidate in Organizational Behavior, where I study music at work and prosocial hierarchies. Specifically, I seek to understand:
How does music listening at work affect employees?
How can we create prosocial & equitable hierarchies?
I adopt a multi-method approach, utilizing multi-source field studies, innovative & robust experiments, and archival/secondary data.
Before embarking on the Ph.D. journey, I earned my B.S. in Business Administration at Middle East Technical University (along with a minor in Computer Engineering, and a year of study abroad at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business) and M.S. in Management at Bogazici University.
Prior to pursuing an academic career, I worked as a process analyst, senior developer, and strategy & business development manager in digital tranformation functions in various sectors, such as banking, telecommunication, insurance, etc.
Outside of academic interests, I enjoy various sports (tennis, badminton, cornhole, etc.), playing and listening to music, reading, traveling, and road trips.
