Sherry Jueyu Wu is an Assistant Professor at the UCLA Anderson School of Management, specializing in Management Organizations. Her research focuses on how group dynamics and social forces enact long-lasting behavioral changes and influence decision-making processes in the context of resource disparity and social inequality. Wu employs social psychology to study equilibrium forces affecting individual and group behaviors, as exemplified by her large-scale field experiments involving diverse groups such as Chinese factory workers and American university staff. These studies reveal that brief interventions can enhance productivity by altering authority perceptions. Wu's ongoing inquiries delve into how group motivations can sustain behavioral change, how individuals respond to hierarchy and resource scarcity, and the psychological effects of diversity on performance and subjective experiences. In her academic life, she is also engaged in yoga, meditation, and has an interest in physics.
