Neal M. Ashkanasy OAM (born 5 June 1945[citation needed]) is an Australian academic best known for his work on emotions in the workplace.[1] He was honored for his "service to tertiary education, to psychology and to the community."[2] He began his career as a civil engineer but is now a Professor of Management at the University of Queensland Business School.[3]

Early life and education

Ashkanasy was born in Melbourne, Australia to Maurice Ashkanasy, an early leader of the Australian Jewish community, and Heather Helen Ashkanasy. He attended Mt. Scopus College and Monash University, where he completed a degree in Civil Engineering in 1966. In 1968, he completed a master's degree in Water Engineering at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.[4]

Ashkanasy returned to university in 1970, where he completed a Graduate Diploma in Computer Science and a Bachelor of Arts (major in psychology) with First Class Honours and a University Medal, at the University of Queensland in Brisbane. He enrolled in a PhD in the UQ School of Psychology, which he completed in 1989.[5]

Career

Ashkanasy started work in Brisbane, Australia in 1968 with the Queensland Irrigation and Water Supply Commission and worked for the Commission (renamed the QWRC: the Queensland Water Resources Commission) for 18 years. He began his career as a construction engineer on Fairbairn Dam in Central Queensland, returning to the Brisbane Office of the QWRC in 1970, rising to the rank of Executive Engineer, Water Supply Investigations. In this role, he oversaw hydrological investigations for the Wivenhoe Dam is on the Brisbane River in Australia.[6] During that time, he was also actively involved in the Institution of Engineers, Australia, eventually serving as chair of its National Committee on Hydrology and Water Resources, during which time he oversaw production of the third edition of Australian Rainfall and Runoff.[7][8] In 1975, he undertook a Churchill Fellowship world tour to study water resources development in the USA, Europe, Israel, and India.[9]

Commencing his academic career in 1986 with the School of Psychology, Ashkanasy was later seconded to the UQ Technology and Innovation Management Centre (1989). In 1988, he was appointed a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the UQ School of Commerce, where he attained tenure and promotion in 1994 before moving to the (former) School of Management in 1995. In 2002, the schools of Commerce and Management merged to form the UQ Business School. From 2004–2008, he served as Associate Dean (Research) of the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Law. His present position is Professor of Management in the UQ Business School.[10] At the school, he has been the doctoral supervisor to many students, including Jemma B. King.[11]

Ashkanasy is the founder of the "Emonet" (the Emotions network)[1][12] and "Orgcult" (Organizational Culture) Listservs, which are sponsored by the Academy of Management. The Emonet group sponsors the biannual "International Conference on Emotions and Worklife" which has been running since 1998.[13] The 10th "Emonet Conference" was held in Rome in July 2016.[14]

Ashkanasy has published over 300 journal articles and book chapters and is author or co-author of over 300 conference papers. His research interests include emotions in the workplace, leadership and leader-member relations, organizational and national culture, and ethics in organizational behavior.[15]
