Dr. Hershcovis joined the Asper School of Business in 2006, after receiving her PhD from Queen's University. She is broadly interested in employee well-being, with specific interests in the psychology of workplace aggression and sexual harassment. Her research investigates: (1) how the nature of the relationship between perpetrators and victims influences victim responses to workplace aggression; (2) how observers of workplace aggression react; and (3) the nature of victim attributions for different forms of workplace mistreatment.
