Psychology Research Interests
My research aims to contribute to our understanding of the factors in the workplace that impact upon individual well-being and organisational performance.
My areas of research interest include organisational behaviour, organisational culture, Antarctic station life, and the behaviour of groups in isolated and confined environments.
My specific research activities can be grouped as follows: person-organisation fit, organisational culture and organisational values, effective leadership and emotional intelligence, and factors contributing to individual and organisational performance.
