Maureen A. Scully is Professor of Management at the Center for Gender in Organizations, SIMMONS Graduate School of Management in Boston. She also serves as Research Associate for the Initiative for Social Innovation through Business at the Aspen Institute, where she is creating a clearinghouse of cases on the synergies between addressing social issues and running effective businesses. Before coming to CGO, she was on the faculty at the MIT Sloan School of Management and a Fellow in the Program on Ethics and the Professions at Harvard University. She received her bachelor's degree in social studies from Harvard-Radcliffe and her master's degree in sociology and Ph.D. in organizational behavior from Stanford University. Professor Scully's research focuses on injustice and social change in organizations. She has studied how inequality is both legitimated and contested in organizations, how employees perceive merit-based reward systems, how reward systems change during transitions to teamwork, how ethics programs in organizations ramify in unexpected ways, how employee groups use grassroots activism to redress inequalities, and how alternatives to individualistic, merit-based rewards should be created.
