My research primarily pertains to (a) the influences of emotions (felt or expressed) on individuals, relationships, and the organization, (b) fairness in the workplace, with a recent focus on how employees perceive artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), and (c) the interplay between emotions and fairness on behavior. Across my research, I often push back against various assumptions regarding what is "good" or "bad." For example, I have found that (a) people can react to envy constructively, despite envy being an unpleasant emotion, (b) distractions can sometimes improve task performance, and (c) social support can sometimes negatively predict job satisfaction. I thus advocate for a balanced, value-judgment free consideration of emotions and various organizational phenomena.
