Cultural Perspectives on Career Decisions and Workplace Behaviors

I study how cultural contexts shape career decisions and workplace behaviors.

To examine the role of national, regional, and organizational cultures, I take a multimethod approach combining large-scale archival and field studies with experimental studies.

Research interests

  • National and Organizational Culture
  • Career Decisions
  • Social Comparison
  • Role Modeling
  • Multilevel Research
  • Randomized Experiments
  • Quasi-Experiments
  • Big Data and Archival Data
