While I am fascinated by many different areas of industrial/organizational psychology, my research over the past 25 years has largely focused on the linkages between economic precarity (including job insecurity, underemployment, and financial stress) and employee health, safety, well-being, and performance. Using a multilevel lens, my collaborators and I examine contextual effects on these individual-level processes as a function of workgroup, organizational, occupational, community, regional, and national-level variables. For example, many of my research studies attempt to delineate the extent to which our findings generalize to other cultural contexts and to identify sociocultural variables that may explain any observed differences.
Most recently, I am particularly interested in how these issues intersect with Future of Work trends, such as increasing organizational adoption of artificial intelligence, algorithmic management, robotics, and automation. Toward that end, I am co-PI and Associate Director of a recently funded large-scale NSF training grant that enables opportunities to collaborate with faculty and graduate students in robotics and autonomous systems.

I invite you to explore the Coalition for Healthy and Equitable Workplaces (CHEW) lab website to learn more about our research in these areas and how you can get involved! Many of our studies have been student-initiated research projects. So, if you have a great idea for some I/O-related research, but don’t see it described on this site, chances are you can still pursue your interests.
