Research agenda
Work, in context.
I study how economic pressure and unsafe work conditions shape worker behavior, well-being, and organizational outcomes.
Economic stressors
How does economic insecurity shape working lives?
I examine how financial strain, job insecurity, and limited alternatives influence well-being, decisions, and behavior at work. This research connects workers’ economic lives with the organizations in which they work.
Workplace safety
What makes a workplace safer in practice?
I study how safety policies become everyday practices, with attention to safety climate, employees’ willingness to speak up, and the conditions that lead injuries and accidents to go unreported.
Quantitative methods
How can we draw better conclusions from data?
My methodological work examines measurement, validity, and quantitative modeling. I focus on how research design and analytical choices shape the conclusions we draw about people and organizations.
