Prof. Shoham Choshen-Hillel

Shoham Choshen-Hillel is an Associate Professor at the Organizational Behavior Department in the Hebrew University Business School; and a member of the Federmann Center for the Study of Rationality at the Hebrew University.

Prof. Choshen-Hillel studies decision-making processes in social contexts and in organizations. Her research addresses questions such as when do decision makers react negatively to others’ better outcomes, and when do they endorse them? Why would concern with reputation lead employees to lie to their manager, even though they don’t gain any material benefit therefrom? And how can we help decision makers use others’ wisdom more effectively? Choshen-Hillel identifies situational factors that lead us to endorse more efficient and prosocial decisions, despite competing psychological motivations.

Prof. Choshen-Hillel earned her PhD in social psychology in 2014 from the

Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In 2013-2015, she was a Rothschild postdoctoral

Fellow at the Center for Decision Research at University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business.
