Michel Anteby is an Associate Professor in the Organizational Behavior area at the Harvard Business School. He has taught in the School's M.B.A., doctoral, and executive programs, most recently the second-year M.B.A. elective "Managing Human Capital" course, the "Craft of Inductive Qualitative Research" doctoral seminar, and in Leadership Best Practices.

Michel's research examines organizational and occupational cultures. More specifically, he tries to understand how meaning is built at work and how moral orders are sustained. He has pursued these questions through the lens of diverse social groups (e.g., factory craftsmen, front-line employees, and clinical anatomists), and at various levels of analysis (e.g., occupations, organizations, and markets). Throughout his work, he documents the many ways individuals and organizations sustain chosen identities: for instance, by engaging in collective forgetting or deviant work behaviors. The field settings for these inquiries have included anatomical donation programs, airport security operations, and industrial workshops.

He is the author of Moral Gray Zones (Princeton University Press) and his work has appeared in the Academy of Management Journal, Administrative Science Quarterly, Ethnography, Organization Science, Social Science & Medicine, and Sociologie du Travail. Michel received the 2010 EGOS Best Paper award, NYU's Herman E. Krooss outstanding dissertation award, the David M. Graifman Memorial award, the Donald and Valerie Ruth Honerkamp fellowship, and was a finalist in the INFORMS/Organization Science dissertation proposal competition. He is a member of Administrative Science Quarterly’s and Organization Science's editorial boards.

Michel earned a joint Ph.D. in sociology from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS, Paris) and in management from New York University. He holds a M.A. in economics from the Sorbonne and a M.P.A. from Harvard. He grew up in France, previously worked as a consultant (focusing on labor issues), and remains affiliated as a Research Fellow with the Centre de Sociologie des Organisations in Paris.
