Biography

Katie Badura is an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior in the Scheller College of Business at Georgia Tech and the Associate Faculty Director of the Institute for Leadership and Social Impact. She received her Ph.D. in Organization and Human Resources Management from the State University of New York at Buffalo.

Her research includes two primary lines of inquiry: leadership emergence and individual differences. In particular, she investigates the process through which individuals emerge as leaders within organizations and how individual attributes, such as personality and disability status, impact employee, team, and firm-level outcomes.

At Scheller, she teaches leadership development and organizational behavior at the graduate level, as well as undergraduate human resources management. In addition, she supports non-degree executive education clients by teaching various topics including leading high performing teams and organizational change.
