Text Box: My research agenda currently encompasses two different areas in organizational behavior. The first, and central to my work since the defense of the PhD dissertation in 2007, has to do with the effects of time on judgment. In particular, my collaborators and I investigate the effects of memory and temporal perspective on the salience of specific unfair events in work settings and the formation of justice perceptions. These, in turn, affect citizenship and counterproductive work behaviors. Ultimately, I am interested in how specific experiences at work contribute to global attitudes, such as justice perceptions or job satisfaction, and in the role that the latter play for specific behaviors at work. I believe that paying explicit attention to the temporal dimension of work-related experiences and judgments can inform our current theories of organizational behavior, in terms of telling us what matters when. The second stream of research has to do with gender differences in "care" and "dare" behaviors, such as citizenship, as opposed to deviant behaviors in the workplace, responsible consumption, and preferences for competitiveness and risk-taking. I examine the extent to which gender differences can be explained by self-construal and motivations that come with a more independent as opposed to a more interdependent view of the self. Broadly defined, areas of research that always fascinate me concern motivation, social cognition, subjective wellbeing, memory, and learning.
