Dr. Ingrid Fulmer’s research is in the areas of human resource management, organizational behavior, and business ethics. She currently has two broad areas of research interest.  In one research stream, she examines the drivers and organizational consequences of human resource practices and systems. Within this area, she is particularly interested in compensation design, including executive compensation.  In a second research area, she studies how individual differences (in personality, emotional experience/expression, and other characteristics) affect social behaviors in organizations.  Within this stream, she is particularly interested in the intentional, goal-directed management of emotions (one’s own and the emotions of others) in social interactions, which she considers both from an organizational behavior perspective as well as (more recently) from a moral/ethical perspective.

Her work has been published or is forthcoming in Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Journal of Applied Psychology, Personnel Psychology, Business Ethics Quarterly, Journal of Business Ethics, and other scholarly journals, as well as in several edited volumes.  She is a member of the editorial review boards of Academy of Management Review, Personnel Psychology, and Negotiation and Conflict Management Research. 

Before joining Georgia Tech, she was on faculty at Michigan State University.  Prior to completing her PhD at Vanderbilt University, she worked as a CPA and consultant.
