CV

Dr. Allison (Allie) Gabriel is the Thomas J. Howatt Chair in Management in the Organizational Behavior and Human Resources area of the Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. School of Business at Purdue University. She also serves as the Faculty Director of the brand new Center for Working Well, and is an Associate Editor at Journal of Applied Psychology. Broadly, Dr. Gabriel aims to understand how employees thrive and promote their well-being at work and home. To tackle this general aim, she studies emotions and emotion regulation in the workplace, recovery, motivation, interpersonal stressors/relationships, and experiences unique to women in the workplace—specifically as they pertain to women’s health and motherhood. 

Dr. Gabriel has published over 70 peer-reviewed journal articles, including publications in premier outlets such as Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Management, Organization Science, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Organizational Research Methods, and Personnel Psychology. She has also published several book chapters, and written for Harvard Business Review and MIT Sloan Management Review. Her research has received popular press attention from outlets such as CNBC, CNN, Fast Company, Forbes, Huffington Post, Psychology Today, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. Dr. Gabriel was also a speaker at the 2022 Wharton Future of Work Conference, and has given keynote/fireside chats for the National Institute of Health, Procter & Gamble, Knoetic, and the Texas Association of School Administrators. She also presents her research at the Academy of Management (AOM) and Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) conferences.

Dr. Gabriel has been the recipient of five early- to mid-career awards, including the 2021 AOM Organizational Behavior Division Cummings Scholarly Achievement Award, the 2021 SIOP Distinguished Early Career Contributions-Science Award, the 2020 AOM Human Resources Division Early Career Award, the 2019 AOM Sage Publications/Research Methods Division/ Lawrence R. James Early Career Achievement Award, and the 2018 Western Academy of Management Ascendant Scholar Award. Her research on women’s health received the 2022 SIOP William A. Owens Scholarly Achievement Award, the 2021 AOM Organizational Behavior Division Outstanding Publication in OB Award, and the 2021 AOM Human Resources Division Scholarly Achievement Award. She was also named a SIOP Fellow in 2023, and was selected by Poets & Quants in 2018 as a Top 50 Undergraduate Business School Professor.
