Professional Interests

My primary research interest is in understanding how individual differences, such as personality and values, impact a variety of workplace outcomes.  That is, my research focuses on understanding how an employee's personality or values impacts his/her motivation, performance, citizenship behaviors, deviant behaviors, leadership, ethical decision-making, etc.  I also study curriculum issues as a secondary topic of interest.

My teaching interests are in human resource management and general management topics.
