Research Interests

My research interests span around key areas that are integral to fostering a positive and productive work environment. Firstly, I investigate the dynamics of emotions and emotional management in the workplace. Understanding how individuals experience and regulate emotions in professional settings is crucial for promoting healthy workplace relationships and overall organizational well-being. Secondly, my focus extends to educational leadership, exploring effective strategies and approaches that empower leaders in educational settings to create supportive and enriching learning environments. Lastly, I am passionate about the concept of well-being and belonging at work, delving into factors that contribute to employees’ overall satisfaction, engagement, and mental health within the organizational context. By investigating these interconnected realms, I aim to contribute valuable insights that can enhance the quality of professional and educational environments, fostering a culture of positivity and growth.
