Organizational Behavior faculty (@BA_Helgason, @ErinLFrey, @jendannals, etc.) @YaleSOM are hiring pre-docs! Learn more at: https://t.co/1BYqXkovRa

I’m working on an article on social norm perception with my doctoral student @liyinlucy for Research in Organizational Behavior. Do you do work that’s related & we should be citing? Check out our current draft and DM me if so, I’d love to hear about it. https://t.co/Mll1GrH9Hv

Call for nominations: The International Social Cognition Network (ISCON) 2023 Best Social Cognition Paper Award. See below for details, spread widely & reach out if you have any questions.

And see @YaleSOM Insights article here for summary:

The paper is forthcoming at @OrganizationSci and is the last (!) project left over from my PhD student days. It never would have reached publication if not for lead author @DPDaniels’s tenacity and @MaggieNeale & Thomas Lys’s endless support through rejections and revisions.

These results are important but should be part of a nuanced discussion about how we discuss “the business case” for diversity, which, when emphasized, can undermine sense of belonging for minority employees (see great work by @OrianeGeorgac and others).

We use Google and Ebay as case studies. Google’s number was quite low (31% women) while Ebay’s was markedly higher (42% women). Check out the corresponding market reactions (accumulated abnormal returns) below.

Across all of our analyses, we find that investors reward firms that reveal higher proportions of women in their workforce, and do so to a magnitude that’s both statistically and financially significant.

We use 2 event studies and 4 experiments to try to causally determine how investors value workforce gender diversity. Our 1st event study uses tech company announcements; our 2nd focuses on financial firms after an FT story in 2017 revealed their workforce diversity as well.

Previous research has often argued that signaling a commitment to gender diversity comes at a financial cost for firms, but this research often looks at gender composition corporate boards rather than the composition of the actual workforce.

10 years ago today, Google revealed that only 31% of its employees were women. Other tech firms followed suit. In a new paper ( https://t.co/sVAMoxmSKv), we use these announcements to estimate how & how much investors value workforce gender diversity. The answer? +$$$. 🧵

☺️ Many thanks to @HalevyNir and @MicheleJGelfand for nominating me!

Hi! Maryam Kouchaki and I are searching for a joint lab manager to start this summer @KelloggSchool. Job ad pictured (with the first part in alt-text). Please email our lab manager with a letter of interest and CV. We're reviewing submissions on a rolling basis. Please retweet!

Think you don't have influence if you don't have formal power or authority? Think again. When we want to know a group's social norms, we look to low-, not high-, ranking group members to learn from and copy. 🔥 paper by @jendannals @emreit1 & Dale Miller.

Inspiring to work with @jendannals @EliranHalali @HalevyNir

Tomorrow Feb 9 at 12pm ET, I’ll be co-hosting the Under-represented Scholars in Judgement and Decision Making networking session w @wdlrosa & @alicejmoon as part of SJDM’s virtual conference. Are you an under-represented scholar or an ally in our JDM community? If so, join us!

Paper and link to materials and data on my website:

(1) it's ok for the motivator on a project to be your collaborators’ enthusiasm sometimes and (2) if you’re like me and the pandemic occasionally upends your barometer for research excitement, just let journals do the rejecting and stop pre-rejecting yourself. 5/5

On a personal note, in 2019 I had basically abandoned this project. In 2020 I returned to it, partly out of a desire to shrink my file drawer and partly out of nostalgia for in-person (!) group (!) data that I could no longer collect. Working on it helped me remember... 4/5

We manipulated whether groups could communicate and constrained the powerholder to either behave more selfishly (only B/C options) or more cooperatively (only A/B options). Communication helped salvage cooperation when the powerholder was selfishly constrained. 3/5 👇🏻
