Taya Cohen is an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at the Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University, with an affiliation in the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences' Social and Decision Sciences department. Her research focuses on moral character, ethical decision-making, negotiation dynamics, and workplace behavior. She examines how personality traits like guilt proneness influence organizational outcomes, and explores mechanisms to foster honesty and reduce counterproductive behaviors. Her work bridges psychology, business ethics, and intergroup relations.
Key research areas include: moral judgment formation, the impact of honesty in professional settings, and strategies to improve team collaboration through structured feedback. She has published extensively on topics such as psychological safety in healthcare teams, the HEXACO personality framework's applications, and reciprocal dynamics between workplace mistreatment and harmful behaviors.
Her interdisciplinary approach addresses real-world challenges in negotiation ethics, leadership integrity, and interprofessional communication in critical care environments. Recent studies highlight her focus on moral beacons, feedback receptivity barriers, and the psychological underpinnings of workplace deviance.
Cohen's research emphasizes practical applications for fostering ethical organizational cultures, improving team performance, and mitigating harmful workplace dynamics. Her work has implications for hiring practices (e.g., screening for moral character), leadership development, and designing interventions to enhance truthfulness in professional interactions.
