Ongoing Research Programs
Here is a sample of my ongoing or recent research projects. The goal is not to provide a comprehensive list of everything I study, nor to present details of a particular study, but to offer a quick look at my program of research, particularly how I integrate my three primary interests (i.e., personality and adaptability, transfer of training, cross-cultural issues).
1. Personality and adaptability
- Personality and adaptive performance at work – how personality traits can predict and help illuminate adaptive performance
- Contextualized personality in teams – how leader and team context influence members' perceptions of themselves within teams
- An experience sampling study of contingent personality – how fluctuations in state conscientiousness and state extraversion relate to adjustment and well-being
- A meta-analytic review of maximum and typical transfer of training – how contextual factors affect the nature of transfer
- Review of job search interventions – what training design issues can influence the effectiveness of job search interventions
- Cultural distance and expatriate leadership effectiveness – how similarity between expatriate managers and their raters impacts their effectiveness ratings
- Transfer of training in an active learning environment – how personality affect subsequent transfer through motivation to transfer
- Transfer of voluntary training over time – how personality and affective training outcomes influence transfer curves
- Perceived self-other similarity in personality across cultures – what cultural dimensions affect how you think you are similar to others in general
- Personality and vocational interests across cultures – how culture moderates the relationship between personality and vocational interests
- Review of cross-cultural training programs – what design features can facilitate subsequent transfer of cross-cultural training
Aside from the content areas above, I am also interested in a methodological area: psychological measurement, which stems from my interest in personality and the desire to accurately measure it.
7. Psychological measurement- Detection scale for insufficient effort responding – how we can detect careless respondents to surveys
- Scientist and practitioner orientations in I/O psychology – how we can assess individuals' preferences for scientist versus practical endeavors in I/O
