My primary research areas include prosocial team leadership, team motivation, the impact of technology and data science on organizational leadership and effectiveness, and the effects of remote work on work and family experiences.

In my research, I aim to investigate questions such as: 

Which characteristics and behaviors of organizational leaders positively influence the long-term health and effectiveness of employees and teams? 

What factors drive leaders to exhibit more prosocial motivation and behavior? 

How do digital technology and new work method impact leadership effectiveness? 

What are the effects of remote work on both employees' and managers' work and family experiences?

I welcome any passionate and motivated PhD students and postdoctoral fellows to join and collaborate with us.
