Research Interests
Improving relationships with and within organizations
- Work on improving relationships with organizations includes research on 1) employees’ tendency to personify the organizations they work in, 2) the utility of different sorts of relationships which firms form with their stakeholders, and 3) which human resource practices create effective employee-employer relationships in different environmental conditions.
- Work on improving relationships within organizations includes research on 1) dealing with “bad apple” teammates, 2) turnover contagion, and 3) what happens when leaders ask questions.
