Dr. Goldsmith received his Bachelor’s degree from Temple University in Sport and Recreation Management in 2005, his Masters degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in Sport Science in 2007, and his PhD from Texas A&M University in Sport Management in 2015. Dr. Goldsmith’s primary line of inquiry in the field of sport management has been focused in the area of organizational behavior and ethical decision-making. He has spent a majority of his effort investigating the role of antecedent conditions and cost-benefit analysis towards whistleblowing intention in sports. Through his research he proposed a new conceptual model to better understand the increased prevalence of whistleblowing (e.g., the disclosure by organization members (former and current) of illegal, immoral or illegitimate practices under the control of their employers, to persons or organizations that may be able to affect action) in sport by determining the antecedent conditions that dictate whistleblowing intention.
In addition, Dr. Goldsmith joined the Walker Research Group, LLC. in 2013 as a Project Manager where he assists as a co-investigator in numerous research consulting projects, funded grant writing, fieldwork and the development of technical reports. Previously, Dr. Goldsmith worked for the Philadelphia Eagles (publication and web design), Adelphi University (Assistant Director of Recreation, Fitness and Aquatics) and for multiple YMCA’s in various capacities, including head swim coach. Dr. Goldsmith is a writer and Philly sports fan. He is a lover of Wawa and the Oxford comma.
