Kendall Yamamoto

I'm an organizational behavior researcher and Ph.D. candidate in the Rosenthal Management Department at the McCombs School of Business, University of Texas at Austin. My research focuses on the role of social worth within organizations. I study why and when people and ideas are deemed valuable, and how these perceptions influence individual and group behavior in organizational settings. My research explores various areas including diversity, status dynamics, cultural factors, and entrepreneurship.

​

Before starting my Ph.D., I worked as a research consultant specializing in leadership development. I obtained my bachelor's degree in psychology and entrepreneurship from the University of Washington in Seattle.

I welcome collaborations with organizations aiming to address and understand their challenges. Message me to discuss potential collaborations further.
