Research interests

Workspaces, cyber security behaviours, territoriality, conflict management and inclusion practices
Specifically, my research investigates three related issues towards improving employee well-being and productivity: (1) How team members' differing perspectives trigger conflict and how leaders can better manage interpersonal conflict for positive outcomes, (2) How workspace configurations activate conflict and shape team members' perceptions, behaviours (territoriality), productivity, and well-being, and how we can improve workspace design for positive benefits for employees and their organisations and (3) How cyber security is connected with employee behaviours, hybrid work, AI surveillances, and leadership.
