Anthony Hemmelgarn, PhD
Research Professor Children's Mental Health Services Research Center
Dr Hemmelgarn is an Industrial and Organizational Psychologist who has worked with colleagues at The University of Tennessee’s Children’s Mental Health Services Research Center since its inception in 1994. His early work at the center was on the development and integration of children’s assessment measures for child welfare systems. Over the past 5 years, Dr. Hemmelgarn has focused closely on establishing and implementing organizational development strategies to enhance organizational effectiveness for human service agencies. In essence, the ARC organizational development intervention is designed to create “learning organizations” that promote continual improvement, adoption of evidence-based-practices, and fidelity to these practices. Dr. Hemmelgarn also directs, coordinates, and provides consultation to researchers and practitioners on the assessment of organizational social contexts within human service agencies. His research publications include topics including the use of confirmatory factor analytic techniques to improve the measurement of cross-situational consistency, the design and validation of assessment instruments for child welfare systems, and the effects of culture and climate within human service organizations.
