Marian Mety serves as Part-Time Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Management at Wayne State University's School of Business since 2016, while maintaining concurrent adjunct positions at Baker College (2001-present) and previous appointments at Lansing Community College and Concordia University - Nebraska. Her academic profile spans leadership studies, organizational behavior, and management education across multiple institutions.
Her educational credentials include:
- Doctor of Business Administration in Leadership Studies (Baker College)
- Master of Science in Management (Walsh College)
- Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology (Wayne State University)
- Master of Education in Learning Design and Technology (Wayne State University)
Mety's research centers on self-efficacy dynamics in female leadership, particularly examining how gender-specific behaviors impact effectiveness in banking environments. Her dissertation demonstrated that high self-efficacy mitigates negative stereotyping effects on leadership outcomes. She further explores critical thinking development in adult learning contexts, emphasizing cognitive skill integration in educational design. Her work consistently bridges theoretical leadership frameworks with practical business applications.
Publication trends reveal dual research trajectories: gender leadership studies grounded in mixed-methods banking sector analysis, and adult learning methodologies focused on critical thinking implementation. Both streams demonstrate applied research aimed at solving real-world organizational challenges.
