Relevant Research Interests
My research interests are in social relationships in the workplace. My research agenda has focussed on loneliness in the workplace but more recently I have been working on research projects examining the psychosocial factors that create high-performing and low-performing teams in organizations. My current research interests therefore focus on organizational factors that promote positive working relationships in organizations.
