Research Interests
I am centrally interested the relationship between organizational practices and individual meaning making at work. In my research I consider how the social responsibility practices of organizations influence employee engagement, individual well-being, and organizational peak performance. While I seek to bring a more micro-level cognitive perspective to social issues in management, I also look at the dynamics of social change more broadly through research on social movements and stakeholder theory. Additionally, I study leadership development and the dynamics of collaborative leadership.
