Katz, Daniel.

University of Michigan psychology professor Daniel Katz was a nationally recognized scholar in the fields of social psychology and organizational behavior; he also made major contributions to the study of national attitudes and race relations. He is perhaps best known as the co-author (with Robert L. Kahn) of The Social Psychology of Organizations, which was published in 1966 and is widely considered to have been a seminal work in the discipline of social psychology.

Katz was born in Trenton, New Jersey on July 19, 1903. He received his BA from the University of Buffalo in 1925, and then enrolled at Syracuse University where he earned an MA in 1926 and a Ph.D. in Social Psychology in 1928. He married Christine Ross Braley in 1930, and they had two daughters.
