Person–situation interactions
Job attitudes and affect/emotions
Employee performance behaviors
I am broadly interested in the cognitive, affective, and social processes that influence individuals’ performance and well-being. Specifically, my research primarily focuses on these three interconnected areas: (1) person–situation interactions, with a particular emphasis on situation (e.g., situational strength and substance characteristics), (2) job attitudes and affect/emotions (e.g., job boredom and work engagement), and (3) employee performance behaviors (e.g., task performance, counterproductive work behaviors, and organizational citizenship behaviors).
