DISSERTATION

RESEARCH INTERESTS

Organizational Behavior (Abusive Supervision, Workplace Deviance, Personality, Aggression), Cross-cultural Organizational Behavior

My research interests lie primarily in the area of personality and behavior in the workplace. I am concerned with how personality characteristics, especially aggression, can have a detrimental effect on a firm or on other people in the workplace. Relating to aggressive personality, abusive supervision and workplace deviance are the main streams of literature which I hope to contribute. I have a secondary interest in cross-cultural organizational behavior and find the influence of culture on behavior fascinating.
