"What makes work worthwhile?" This is the overarching question that motivates my research. To shed light on this inquiry, I focus on exploring two types of relationships that exist in the workplace: one’s relationship with the work itself (i.e., motivation and orientation toward work), and one’s relationship with other people at work.
Below is a summary of my recent research papers and works in progress for each stream.
