Margaret Shih is the Neil H. Jacoby Chair in Management and a professor of management and organizations at UCLA Anderson School of Management. On July 1, 2025, she was appointed the school's interim dean. She has been a faculty member at UCLA Anderson since 2008 and previously served on the faculty at the University of Michigan for eight years and worked at the RAND Corporation. Her educational background includes a Ph.D. and M.A. in Social Psychology from Harvard University and a B.A. in Psychology with honors from Stanford University. Professor Shih's research focuses on the effects of diversity in organizations, particularly examining social identity and the psychological effects of stereotypes, prejudice, discrimination, and stigma in organizational contexts. Her work spans organizational behavior, social psychology, and diversity studies, with significant contributions to understanding how identity affects workplace dynamics, leadership, and decision-making. She has recently published research on the influence of political polarization on perceptions of threats to democracy. Her scholarly work demonstrates consistent exploration of how individuals navigate multiple identities in organizational settings, with particular attention to colorblind diversity policies, stereotype activation mechanisms, and strategies for reducing stigma in workplaces. Her research has evolved from foundational work on stereotype boost effects to more complex examinations of multiracial identity and organizational inclusion strategies. 2017 La Force Award for Leadership 2017 Niedorf Decade Teaching Award 2011 Fulbright Award 2006 Literature, Sciences and Arts Class of 1934 Memorial Teaching Award, University of Michigan 2006 Literature, Sciences and Arts Award for Educational Excellence, University of Michigan 2005 Outstanding Scholar Honor, National Science Council, Taiwan 2003 Martin E.P.
