I am primarily curious about understanding and addressing challenges that are not directly work-related but nevertheless impede on employees' abilities to perform at work, pursue career goals, or maintain job satisfaction and wellbeing. My research program follows three central and interrelated aims. First, I seek to explain the role of financial stress and workplace pay practices on employees’ behaviors, perceptions, and decision-making at work. My second line of research clarifies the processes that shape employee resilience, or the continued pursuit of goals despite adversities. Third, I aim to further our understanding of physiological and mental health implications of employee stress. To address these aims, I draw from varied organizational research methods, including experience sampling methodology, physiological measurement, meta-analysis, qualitative interviews, multi-source data (e.g., supervisors and employees), and experimental designs.
