His work draws on experimental and “real world” data such as employee stock options, 401k savings, the National Football League draft, and graduate school admissions. His research has led to long-time collaborations with Google, Merck and multiple professional sports franchises. Massey’s research has been published in leading psychology and management journals, and covered by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, The Economist, The Atlantic, and National Public Radio. He has taught MBA and Executive MBA courses for 15 years, receiving teaching awards from Duke, Yale and Penn for courses on negotiation, influence, organizational behavior and human resources.
