Research and Teaching Interests

My research interests include cooperation, trust, negotiations, the role of values in decision-making, and social and organizational identity processes. Although my research focuses on social psychology in organizations, I also have a special interest in how micro-level processes drive meso and macro-level phenomena (e.g., how solitary normative actors can change cooperation in groups; how individual, values-based identification can lead to long-term strategic advantage for firms; how individual-level dependencies shape interorganizational trust relationships, etc.). My areas of teaching and training expertise include negotiations, decision making, conflict management, communication and presentation skills, and organizational behaviour.
