Assistant Professor of Psychology
The focus of my research is to understand the functioning of diverse groups in organizational settings. My research program has four main objectives:
first, to extend the current theory in the study of group composition and diversity to a new conceptualization of diversity—group faultline theory;
second, to understand how conflicts arise from faultlines and affect employee and group performance, mental health outcomes, turnover, and mobility within a company;
third, to explore factors, such as leadership, group identity, emotions, and workgroup environment (e.g., HR practices, organizational culture, and business strategies) that may contribute to the escalation of conflict in situations where faultlines exist; and
fourth, to operationalize group faultlines through sound measurement techniques and rigorous testing in multiple research settings.
Most recently, I have been interested in understanding the roots of ethnic conflict and the process of conflict escalation in ethnopolitical situations. I have been drawing on my research in the areas of diversity and group conflict to study international ethnopolitical conflict and peacekeeping.
