In 2017, he won the Faculty of Business and Economics (AUT) Individual Researcher of the Year. He won AUTs premier award: The AUT Medal in 2021. His research approach spans broadly across a wide range of management topics, but with a strong focus on Human Resource Management and Organizational Behaviour.
Jarrod’s research falls into five clusters: (1) how employees manage their work, family, and life roles such as work-life balance; (2) the role of cultural factors in the workplace (especially for Māori) and mātauranga Māori in business; (3) team functioning and its influence on team member wellbeing and job outcomes; (4) leadership and its influence on followers; and (5) innovation/entrepreneurship.
Professor Haar has over 400 refereed academic outputs (including 130 journal articles) including Personnel Psychology, Journal of Vocational Behavior, Human Resource Management Journal, Journal of Occupational Health Psychology and The International Journal of Human Resource Management (amongst others). He has given 53 keynotes or invited presentations. He has won around $5 million in research grant funding and is also a named researcher on a $100 million National Science Challenge (Science for Technological Innovation).
Under the New Zealand Governments Research Performance ranking (PBRF scheme), Jarrod was ranked in the top 6% of New Zealand business researchers (Ranked A – world-class) for the past 12 years. He is an award-winning writer (10 best paper awards), an award-winning lecturer, and has a keen interest in mentoring and publishing with PhD students and junior colleagues. Jarrod is a strong quantitative researcher and enjoys mentoring students and colleagues towards publishing research (including high-ranked journal articles). He has a strong combination of research, supervision, teaching, and service excellence (e.g., Research Centre Director, promotion committees and appointment committees) and brings a high-level focus on research and publications including the timing of PBRF rounds. He does this in a relaxed, informal and fun manner – especially as he likes to collaborate with colleagues and students. He has 16 successful PhD completions (10 as Chief Supervisor) and 5 current PhD students. He has over 60 Master’s students. He has examined 28 PhD theses and 18 Masters theses.
