I am interested in the cognitive, affective, and social processes that shape individuals’ job performance and well-being in the workplace. My work generally falls into one or more of the following areas:

• Person–situation interactions, with a particular emphasis on situational factors (e.g., situational strength and content),
• Job affect/emotion and attitudes such as job boredom and work engagement, and
• Individual work performance behavior such as counterproductive work behavior and organizational citizenship behavior.
