Dr. Hoffman's Vita

Research Interests

My primary research interest revolves around the person-perception domain and its application to the assessment of human performance. Specifically, I am interested in perceptual issues surrounding rating-based measures of visionary leadership, managerial skills (e.g., assessment centers and 360 Feedback), and altruism at work. Secondary interests include the assessment of narcissism and the impact of narcissism on leader integrity and effectiveness.
