Kaitlin Busse

Undergraduate institution: Roanoke College

My research interests broadly focus on occupational health psychology (e.g., work-nonwork, worker mistreatment, well-being), motivation, and employee/leader development. My master’s thesis examined predictors and outcomes of fathers’ use of work-family policies. Currently, my dissertation explores how informal learning can motivate employees and make them more resilient to workplace stressors to prevent burnout. In addition to academic research, I have applied experience working in a variety of industries and multinational organizations within the areas of people analytics, consulting, talent management, learning and development, and people operations. I also serve as an adjunct instructor at Baruch College. Before joining the program, I was a past Fulbright research grantee at Copenhagen Business School in Denmark.
