Research Focus

My primary research area is psychological attachment and relationship formation and as such I am particularly interested in theories of identity, social exchange, and motivation. I enjoy studying distributed, virtual, on-demand, and other non-traditional work contexts.

Relationships are fundamental to all organizational life, and as such if we can create and sustain high performing, productive relationships organizations and society improve.

Current Projects

■ Pandemic-induced nostalgia: How individuals are coping with their new world of work.
