My program of research focuses on three streams: employment relationships and future of work, the dark side of human behavior in organizations and career development. First, I study employment relationships using the psychological contracts as an explanatory framework. Psychological contracts represent beliefs about mutual obligations between the employee and the employer. These obligations include both the employer’s obligations to the employee and the employee’s obligations to the employer. My scholarly work in this area captures two inter-related themes – contract formation (i.e., how employees form their psychological contracts with their employers?) and maintenance of psychological contracts (i.e., what person and contextual factors influence the (non)fulfillment of psychological contracts?). Moreover, I am also interested in understanding the future of work and more specifically the role of artificial intelligence in organizations, careers, and identity threat. Second, I am interested in seeking explanations as to why individuals behave in ways that are detrimental to themselves, their employers, and others. Specifically, I explore three converging questions: 1) why do individuals engage in dysfunctional/destructive behaviors at work? 2) what are the consequences of these dysfunctional/destructive behaviors on employees, their families, and third parties? and 3) what can be done to minimize these behaviors? My third stream of research explores the conditions in which individuals adapt and persist at work as well as the barriers to workplace participation and advancement. Specifically, my research closely examines the workplace experiences of two distinct groups: 1) students, scientists and professionals in STEM and 2) vulnerable (e.g., victims of intimate partner aggression, migrant workers) and stigmatized individuals (e.g., people living with HIV).
