My research interests cover three
broad areas: workplace romance, gender bias in
organizations, and job attitudes and climate.
Workplace Romance. My research in this area focuses
on situational factors related to incidents of
romance at work. For example, my graduate students
and I are investigating the interplay between job
attitudes, organizational climate, and workplace
romance.
Gender Bias in Organizations. A second area of
research that I pursue concerns gender stereotypes
and bias. I have published research examining the
conceptual and empirical differences among various
types of sexism (e.g., Conn et al., 1999). My recent
work in this area examines the relationships between
sexist attitudes and evaluations of female job
applicants.
Job Attitudes/Organizational Climate. With respect
to organizational climate, I am focused on
understanding the antecedents of customer service
climate, as well as its consequences. Specific
areas of inquiry include: 1) the relationship
between manager personality and service climate (Salvaggio
et al., In press) and 2) customer service in
government agencies.
Although these areas represent my main research
domains, I have investigated (and tend to be
interested in) a variety of topics related to
understanding behavior in and of organizations.
