Ronit Kark (Hebrew: ⁨רונית קרק⁩) is a full professor of leadership and organizational psychology in the Department of Psychology at Bar-Ilan University,[1] Israel, and the founder and former director of the 'Gender in the Field' Graduate Program at the Gender Studies department of Bar-Ilan.

In 2001, Kark completed her postdoctoral studies at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, hosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

In 2014, Kark was a visiting scholar at the University of Queensland Business School and Department of Psychology, Australia.

For instance, Kark and Van Dijk's paper "Motivation to Lead, Motivation to Follow: The Role of the Self-Regulatory Focus in Leadership Processes"[10] formed one of the inputs to a series of studies carried out and documented by Russell Johnson et al.

We provided empirical support for Kark and Van Dijk’s (2007) untested conceptual propositions that transformational and management by exception behaviors mediate leader–follower foci relations.
