Professional Interests:
For the past few years, I have been actively involved in the study of workers employed on "contingent" or fixed-term employment contracts. These studies have covered a broad range of contractual arrangements and types of positions (day-labors to IT specialists). Focus has been on both the development of alternative theoretical perspectives for the understanding of the attitudes and behaviors of contingent workers, as well as practical managerial focused suggestions for organizations.
