23 Oct Meet the all-women research team of dBIAS LAB

As Wedu charts the course for its second decade of impact in closing the gender leadership gap, we are fortunate to have collaborated with mission-aligned partners like dBIAS LAB. Founded a little over two years ago, dBIAS LAB is a research and advisory firm dedicated to creating a world where gender biases no longer limit opportunities for individuals and communities.

The all-women research team, led by founder Haena Kim, came onboard to help Wedu investigate the motivations of women leaders seeking to join Wedu and identify evidence-based strategies to make our Rising Star programme more accessible. The researchers used the COM-B model with a conceptual grounding of self-determination theory, which explores how social contexts and individual differences facilitate various types of motivation. For a thorough look at the research design and framework, check out the LinkedIn post by dBIAS LAB here.
