Her research interests focus on individual and organizational health, including publications on diversity and leadership and research experience at prestigious universities across four different continents. 

Research & Media

All too often well-intending persons and organizations overlook or implement measures that backfire for those they ostensibly aim to help. I study these “misguided good intentions” in the contexts of leadership and diversity while developing and testing evidence-informed solutions (e.g., individual strategies such as humor and sports; organizational strategies such as team design, parental leave policies and implementation). My theories and methods bridge social psychology, management, and economics, including lab- and field-based experiments, while my research on the “new world of work” also includes AI, data mining, and large language models.

If you can’t find or access a paper, check for it here (e.g., Research Gate or OSF) and/or request it from me–I support Open Science!
