Research and Teaching Interests:
My research interests generally focus on the management and development of human capital, in two main areas: issues related to gender and diversity, and leadership development and motivation. My diversity related interests are focused primarily on sexual harassment, the effective implementation of diversity initiatives, and how individual, interpersonal and organizational factors affect women’s functioning and career success. To these ends, I am currently involved in research on the differential propensity of men and women to initiate negotiations, the sexual harassment of women by their clients/customers, the relationship between non-gender related climate variables and harassment, the differential effects of the communication medium on negotiation styles and outcomes for men and women, and the effectiveness of harassment training. My interests in leadership development lie in the usefulness of coaching as a development tool, and in determining what individual and organizational factors moderate the effectiveness, which I examining in my dissertation. I am also interested in the malleability of motivational characteristics of individuals, particularly goal orientation.
