Investigating the impact of work on employees' health, safety, and well-being
At a broad level, my research considers psychosocial work factors that influence employee health, safety, and well-being. More specifically, my work aims to answer the following questions: What role does feeling called to one’s work have on employees’ health and well-being? What are the psychosocial work factors that drive employee safety outcomes within high-risk occupations? Finally, what are individual-level strategies that employees can use to effectively cope with work stress and promote their own recovery? Much of my work is interdisciplinary, as I collaborate with colleagues from a variety of academic backgrounds, including Public Health, Management, Public Affairs, Medicine, and Information Systems. The ultimate goal of this research is to identify effective individual-level and organizational-level strategies that will enhance employees' health, safety, and well-being.
