Sarah Wittman

Assistant Professor of Management

Costello College of Business

Sarah Wittman (PhD, INSEAD; MA, Universidad de Navarra/George Washington University; BS, Simon Fraser University) is an Assistant Professor of Management at the Costello College of Business and holds a courtesy appointment in the I/O Psychology Department, both at George Mason University. Dr. Wittman’s research broadly explores transitions within, across, and beyond organizational boundaries and, via ongoing projects on caregivers and neurodiverse individuals, she brings into management conversations workers and groups transitioning between, out of, or into work who have often been left invisible to the business focus on the thriving of people at work. Wittman’s scholarly work has been published in The Oxford Handbook of Leadership and Organizations, Academy of Management Review, Academy of Management Annals, and Organization Theory; and has been featured in multiple practitioner-oriented outlets (e.g., Harvard Business Review, linkedin.com, FastCompany, Business Insider). Her work to-date has been funded by grants from the Army Research Institute, the Institute for Digital Innovation, and the National Science Foundation.
