• My research is deeply inspired by my prior work experience in consulting, where I witnessed the profound social complexities employees face in navigating today’s evolving work environment. My research explores how employees make sense of, respond to, and manage dynamic and sometimes conflicting role expectations across three interrelated domains: leadership, the work-family interface, and technological change. To understand these processes, I examine how role expectations shape employees’ emotions, perceptions, and behaviors—and how employees adapt to or resist these pressures. I explore these themes using a diverse set of methods, including field studies, experiments, experience sampling methodologies (ESMs), implicit association tests, polynomial analysis, meta-analysis, and qualitative semi-structured interviews.
