Areas of Research:
- Employment relationships in (interactive) service work & retail sector
- Paradoxes, tensions and identity formation in HRM
- Institutional Theory and Convention Theory
- Organizational Ethnography
Her doctoral thesis analyzed how front-line service workers handle contradictory requirements of customers and employers in service interactions via the direct observation of service interactions. This is a counter-point to dominant scholarly accounts focused on normative and functional pronouncements. She is particularly interested in how organizational and macro-social structures play out at the micro-level with regards to the implications for managing the workforce.
