Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland. She received her PhD in organisational behaviour from the London Business School. She studies how the social context impacts employees’ decision-making. She examines situations in which people in organisational settings behave in ways that end up counter to their own goals, because of innate social needs, such as the need to belong or the need for social status. As such, she applies psychological theories to critical organisational challenges (e.g., how organisations should design their selection practices or structure employees’ jobs) to seek solutions that improve employees’ lives in the workplace and organisations’ success. Most of her research revolves around two specific areas: behavioural ethics, and selection decisions and biases.
