About the Faculty
Diversity and inclusion have become increasingly important goals at CSU. The Department of Management has research and teaching experts in this area, specifically, Lynn Shore, Chris Henle, Samantha Conroy, and Tiffany Trzebiatowski. The College of Business is seeking to improve the inclusion experiences of students of all social identities, and we expect the postdoc to add to our ongoing inclusion efforts both in the classroom and in co-curricular activities. The postdoc will add to our successful and productive faculty group focused on diversity and inclusion research. We are committed to mentoring our postdoc to enhance their career opportunities.
Lynn Shore, who is the most senior scholar in the group, has conducted research on diversity and inclusion since the beginning of her career in 1985. More recently, she has published a seminal article on workgroup inclusion (Journal of Management, 2011, cited by 534 according to Google Scholar), followed by a series of articles and chapters on inclusion. Lynn has worked as a Senior Consortium Fellow, Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences, to craft an inclusion program for the army, was a founding member of the Diversity and Inclusion Theme Committee and was on the executive committee for the Gender and Diversity Division of the Academy of Management (our international professional association). She also founded the Institute for Inclusion and Diversity in Organizations at San Diego State University, committed to research, teaching, and outreach pertaining to inclusion.
Tiffany Trzebiatowski's research stream focuses on diversity, discrimination, and threats to identity. Specifically, she has examined gender diversity on corporate boards and the detrimental consequences of discrimination to individuals. Her recent work uncovers how diverse individuals integrate with the majority to understand how organizations can be more inclusive. Tiffany currently serves on the executive boards of the Diversity and Inclusion Theme Committee and the Gender and Diversity in Organization's Division.
Samantha Conroy's research focuses on social identities and equity issues in organizations, each important considerations in understanding diversity and inclusion. She collaborates extensively with other faculty in the CSU College of Business to publish on topics that include social identities at work (Conroy, Henle, Shore, & Stelman, 2017, Journal of Organizational Behavior), compassionate organizations (Becker, Conroy, Djurdjevic, & Gross, 2018, Emotion Review), and researching organizational issues in the field (Maynard, Conroy, & Lacerenza, 2018, Industrial and Organizational Psychology: Perspectives on Science and Practice). She is also on the Executive Committee of the Human Resources Division of the Academy of Management.
Chris Henle's research focuses on how organizations can achieve diverse and inclusive workplaces by curtailing employment discrimination. For example, her recent research examines family responsibility discrimination (FRD), discrimination against job applicants or employees because of their family caregiving responsibilities for young children or older family members. Her work identifies when FRD is most likely to occur in hiring and starting salary decisions and how organizations can avoid it through practices such as unconscious bias training and blind hiring.
