Overview: This paper provides a perspective on why behavioral research is critical to the Operations Management (OM) field, what prior research exists, and what opportunities lay ahead. The use of human experiments in operations management is still fairly novel despite a small stream of publications going back more than twenty years. A framework is developed for identifying the types of behavioral assumptions typically made in analytical OM models. This framework is then used to organize the results of prior behavioral research and identify future research opportunities.
