Jonathan Keeney

I joined the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame in 2017 as a Postdoctoral Teaching and Research Associate.

My research focuses primarily on the psychology of ethical decision making, and how those decisions are shaped and complicated by features of the organizational context (e.g., third-party observers, workplace policies and climates, hierarchical relationships). My dissertation work explores when and how ethical decision making processes can promote worker safety.

My academic background is in experimental moral psychology and philosophy, and my current research combines laboratory methods with organizational field research in a variety of industries, including healthcare, transportation, and offshore drilling.

I received my Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior from the University of North Carolina, and my MBA from Florida Atlantic University. I previously worked in the sports marketing and event management industries.
