Interests

I enjoy working with students at all levels and am interested in teaching a variety of courses, including negotiations and conflict resolution, introductory management, ethics, managing the self and relationships at work, and culture. Overall, I believe strongly that teaching and research are mutually reinforcing. Teaching affords us the valuable opportunity to shape the thinking of future leaders through sharing our research, and, in turn, to help inform our research questions by remaining close to practice via the experiences and questions of our students. 

Interests

My research focuses on three major areas, all investigating emotion-related influences that often arise spontaneously and without much conscious thought, but profoundly shape individuals’ performance and well-being at work: (1) the antecedents and consequences of complex emotion-influenced experiences— including ambivalence and authenticity—for both individuals and groups, (2) voice habit, a new theoretical construct developed by my colleagues and me that proposes an automatic perspective of voice behavior, and (3) ethical and other implications of both complex and simple emotional experiences. I incorporate a multi-method approach to explore these topics, focusing on the contexts of negotiation, decision accuracy and performance, persuasion and cooperation, and interpersonal perceptions and interactions.
