Research Interests and Methodology

I conduct research on employee stress and well-being, focusing specifically on the impact of remote and hybrid work arrangements and leadership. In a broader sense, my goal is to understand how employees and leaders can thrive in their work and personal lives. Most of my projects revolve around exploring how individuals utilize their internal and external resources and how they can optimize these processes for better outcomes. Within this scope, I investigate the influence of personality, demographics, mindset, and habits. My research spans various sectors, including for-profit, non-profit, military, and government, and I explore specific contexts such as negotiation, innovation, safety, organizational culture, and virtual teams.

I collaborate with a diverse range of coauthors, including students, academics, and professionals from applied settings (industry or government). To conduct my research, I employ a variety of methodologies, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. I use data collection tools that range from surveys and experiments to experiential sampling methodologies.

As a researcher trained in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, I strive to bridge the gap between science and practice. This divide can often hinder the dissemination of crucial research findings to the employees and leaders who can benefit the most. I address practical research questions and actively engage with the media to ensure the broad dissemination of my research findings. Additionally, I aim to share the key findings of each study with the participants who contributed to the research.

Below, you will find a list of my published works, along with links to the full publications. Please visit the Media page to explore examples of how I have worked to disseminate the findings of my articles and books.
