Rachael Dailey Goodwin is an Assistant Professor of Management at Syracuse University in the Whitman School of Management. She pursed a PhD in Management at the University of Utah and a research fellow with the Women and Public Policy Program at the Harvard Kennedy School. Prior to pursuing a PhD, Rachael was a visiting adjunct professor in the Romney Institute of Public Management at Brigham Young University. She investigates gender issues related to expected power, managerial social cognition (i.e., construal), and women’s desire to lead. She has specific interest in increasing women’s personal sense of power in majority-male leadership groups, and in understanding gendered perceptions of women leaders. She also explores unethical behaviors (e.g., sexual harassment) that create obstacles for women. Her other research examines whistleblowing, and attitudes towards perpetrators and victims. Rachael’s work utilizes diverse methodologies including survey-based field research, experiments, qualitative research, and field data analyses. Her research has been published in top management publications including Organization Science. She has also published in the Psychology of Women’s Quarterly, and the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.

I investigate workplace issues related to expected power, managerial social cognition (i.e., construal), ethics, and gender. My research also explores attitudes towards perpetrators and victims, whistleblowing, and unethical behaviors (e.g., sexual harassment) that create obstacles for women at work.
