Kidder's Research Surpasses 5,000 Google Scholar Citations

Research by Turner College management professor Deborah Kidder recently surpassed 5,000 career Google Scholar citations. Additionally, Google Scholar reports that her i10-index is equal to 22, meaning that Kidder has published 22 studies that have each garnered at least 10 citations. Google Scholar also reports two additional metrics. One of these is a scholar’s h-index, which is the largest number, h, of a scholar’s publications that have each garnered at least h citations. Kidder’s h-index is 20, meaning that her 20 most-cited studies have each generated at least 20 citations. Another Google Scholar metric is a scholar’s g-index, which is the largest number, g, of a scholar’s publications that have collectively garnered at least g-squared citations. Kidder’s g-index is 37, meaning that her 37 most-cited studies have collectively produced at least 1,369 citations. Kidder’s top-cited publication is a 1998 study in the Journal of Organizational Behavior that reviews previous work on contingent employment and illustrates how the dimensions of psychological contracts (e.g., stability, scope, tangibility, focus, time frame, particularism, multiple agency and volition) highlight the differences and similarities among alternative employment arrangements. This paper was co-authored with her colleagues at Washington University - St. Louis and James Madison University. Kidder’s second most-cited publication is a 2002 study in the Journal of Management that examines the relationship between gender and reports of organizational citizenship behaviors. Kidder joined the TSYS School in 2021 from the University of Hartford. She earned a PhD in management from the University of Minnesota.
