Anne-Kathrin Kronberg

I am an Assistant Professor in Sociology and Organization Science at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte. Before coming to Charlotte, I completed my PhD at Emory University and worked as postdoctoral fellow at Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany.

My research examines how organizations shape careers and career outcomes. These outcomes include income, promotions, external employer changes, and the decision to stay in a specific field. I am particularly interested in how careers differ by gender and race. In past and current projects, I have examined how firms’ policy, culture, and composition shape outcomes. For this purpose, I draw on a variety of research designs including longitudinal HR data of a single employer, publicly available linked employer-employee data on many organizations, and qualitative interviews with individual managers and employees. My research has been published in Social Forces, Work and Occupations, and Mobilization, and I received funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG).
