Katherine C. Alexander is an assistant professor in the Department of Management at Loyola University Chicago’s Quinlan School of Business.

Her current research interests include interpersonal mistreatment, destructive leadership, and the development of measurement tools for managerial researchers. Alexander’s research examines the dark side of leadership and its impact on employees and organizations.

Her work has led to the development of a measure of insubordination, which has sparked new research on insubordinate follower behaviors. She also conducts large-scale meta-analyses and systematic reviews to improve understanding of existing organizational behavior literature. Over the next three years, Alexander will be working on two large-scale grant initiatives dedicated to supporting small business owners in Chicagoland.
