I study the human mind and behavior in the workplace.
About
I am interested in what shapes employees’ performance behavior and well-being, as well as the why’s and how’s. My work focuses primarily on these three interconnected areas:
- Person–situation interactions, with a particular emphasis on situation (e.g., situational strength, substance characteristics),
- Job attitudes and affect/emotions (e.g., work engagement, job boredom), and
- Individual work performance behavior (e.g., counterproductive work behavior, organizational citizenship behavior)
Prospective PhD students: I do not plan to admit a PhD student in the 2026 application cycle.
