Profile
Trevor Young-Hyman is an Assistant Professor of Business Administration and Sociology in the Katz School of Business at the University of Pittsburgh.

He is the recipient of the Horvat-Vanek Prize, the Bill Nobles Fellowship, the Louis O. Kelso Fellowship, and was a William J. Fulbright Fellow. His research examines how formal and informal organizational structures impact organizational performance and worker welfare. In particular, recent work examines decentralized organizations, multi-stakeholder governance, worker ownership, and high purpose organizations. In that research, he has applied a range of data sources, including archival data, laboratory-based experiments, surveys, interviews, and ethnographic data. His research has been published in Administrative Science Quarterly, Organization Science, and Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, among other academic outlets. Trevor has also worked with governmental and non-profit organizations in multi-stakeholder collaborations, developing data collection processes and providing program evaluation. He led data collection and analysis for the Pittsburgh Citywide Taskforce on Employee Ownership, a multi-stakeholder initiative to increase business owner awareness about and catalyze business conversions to employee ownership.
