Rebecca (Becky) Schaumberg is an assistant professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where she teaches a course on negotiation. She uses social psychology and organizational behavior theory to understand the factors that promote and impede positive employee outcomes such as job performance, leadership, and effective decision-making. She is particularly interested in how these outcomes relate to self-conscious emotions (e.g., guilt), moral character, and self-reliance/autonomy.
Becky received her undergraduate degree from Carleton College and her PhD from Stanford University. Â Prior to joining Wharton, she was an Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations at NYU Stern School of Business.
