Here is a sample of my recent research projects. The goal is not to provide a comprehensive list of everything I study, nor to present details of a particular study, but to offer a quick look at my program of research.

 

1. Learning, adaptability, and performance in changing work

  • Newcomer learning and transfer — how empowering newcomers to engage in informal learning improves training transfer and subsequent performance outcomes.
  • Personality and work-family dynamics — how personality drives changes in work–family conflict, and how work–family conflict leads to changes in personality.
  • Hybrid training and transfer — how task-contingent conscientiousness and supervisor support jointly shape the transfer of hybrid training.

 

2. Individual differences and work contexts shaping adaptation

  • Personality in teams — how leader proactive personality and team members' need for approval influence team perception and performance.
  • Family demands diversity in teams — how differences in family demands across team members shape team work–family conflict and collective effort.
  • Gig work and workers — how gig work arrangements shape workers' motivations, behaviors, and outcomes, and the implications for managing nonstandard work.

 

3. Response effort and insufficient effort responding (IER)

  • Insufficient effort responding in management research — synthesizing what we know about insufficient effort responding in surveys and outlining directions for improving data quality in management research.
  • IER as a confound in personality-performance research — demonstrating how insufficient effort responding can bias conclusions when linking personality measures to performance outcomes.
  • Page time and IER — evaluating page response time as an indicator of IER in survey research.
