Dr. Elena M. Wong is a Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellow at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Her research examines employee wellbeing, organizational wellness practices, and the work-family interface. She explores these areas using multi-level perspectives and mixed methods including ethnographic observations, interviews, and surveys. Her most recent work is conducted in partnership with outdoor education organizations, where employees live and work in remote wilderness settings.

Actively involved with The PhD Project, she works to recruit and retain underrepresented scholars in business school faculty. Her life experiences and dedication to diversity shape her teaching and service, exemplified by her efforts to broaden perspectives and bridge multi-cultural identities.
Dr. Wong’s work has been published in Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Vocational Behavior and Industrial and Organizational Psychology: Perspectives in Science and Practice. Prior to joining academia, she worked as a consultant in the healthcare industry.
