Research Interests

My research interests include workplace mentoring, clinical supervision, dysfunctional personal relationships, occupational health psychology, and the relationship between work and family life. I have many different on-going research projects, including a large scale cross-disciplinary meta-analysis on mentoring (and several specific spin-off studies related to this larger project), various studies examining the positive and negative aspects of workplace mentoring relationships from both the mentor and protégé perspective, and a longitudinal study examining the relationship between clinical supervisory relationships (a specific type of mentoring relationship), work attitudes, burnout, and turnover in substance abuse treatment facilities. I am also conducting collaborative research with former graduate students on a wide range of work-family topics, such as work-family conflict, work-family enrichment and the emotional demands of work and family life.
