Research and Teaching Interests

Katherine (Katy) DeCelles is an Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. Katy’s research focuses on understanding how individuals in organizations can be better equipped to make more ethical decisions and to behave morally. She is also interested in how organizations can more effectively engage with their stakeholders regarding social/ethical issues, and in issues relating to organizational change. Katy is currently working on a stream of research that examines how employees understand and merge multiple sets of values to affect ethically-related decisions. In her research on stakeholder engagement, Katy focuses on issues related to the public’s perception of organizations’ morality and how the public attempts to affect organizational actions through both traditional and new social media.
