Biography

Cristina B. Gibson is University Professor, Pepperdine University and Dean’s Distinguished Professor of Management in the Applied Behavioral Science group at Pepperdine Graziadio School of Business. She is a Fellow of the Academy of Management, Academy of International Business, American Psychological Association, and Academy of Social Science Australia. 

Cristina is an expert on dignity and inclusion at work, corporate-community partnerships, social innovation, and technology-enabled collaboration. She works at the nexus of organizational science, international management, and cross-cultural psychology to increase employee well-being, social impact, and organizational effectiveness. Her work gives voice to those with differing approaches, perspectives and knowledge, and provides evidence regarding practical techniques for acknowledging, celebrating and bridging differences that coincide with ethnicity, national culture, functional disciplines, and values. 

Cristina also addresses the manner in which culture, organizational structures, and technology serve as key influences on shared use of information and knowledge, and she has demonstrated that such processes are critical for subsequent behavioral and organizational outcomes, for both the organization and surrounding community. Dispelling conventional assumptions that collaborative phenomena operate the same way across contexts, her work identifies intercultural variations, impacts of geographical dispersion, migration and technology factors that are important in gaining a full understanding of how to increase the effectiveness of collaborations within firms and across sectors. 

Cristina strives for real world impact.  She was recognized in a Stanford University study of scientific impact as among the top 2% of 7 million scientists across disciplines worldwide. For three consecutive years she has been awarded the Thomson Reuters Highly Cited Distinction, indicating that she is among the top 1% in the world in terms of impact in the fields of Economic and Business based on citation counts.  This award is an honor reserved for only 95 academics in this discipline across the world. 

Cristina was the recipient of 2022 Mentorship Award from the Academy of Management and the 2019 Medal for Scholarly Contributions by the Academy of International Business. In 2018, she received the Humanitarian Award from the American Psychological Association (Division 14, Society for Industrial Organizational Psychology) based upon her application of industrial organizational psychology towards an initiative that has reached thousands of lives in both businesses and at-risk communities. This effort has provided concrete evidence of the social impact of a collaborative process for community development, involving hundreds of corporate volunteers, partnerships with major multinational corporations and has supported development in at-risk communities. 

Cristina’s other work has informed organizational policy, structure, training and development agendas improving operational efficiency, innovation, resource allocation, and well-being, in non-profits, entrepreneurial firms, and large multinationals such as IBM, HP, Oracle, General Motors, Johnson & Johnson, British Aerospace, Alcoa, Qantas and Westpac, across 30 countries.
