Research Areas of Interest
My research focuses on three general areas: (1) performance
evaluations, (2) organizational justice, and (3) group decision-making. Specific
areas of interest follow.
Performance Appraisal: Areas of interest include rater motivation, accountability,
team ratings, and format issues. Current projects investigate the difference
between team ratings of performance versus individual ratings, the influence
of rater accountability on performance ratings, the role of the behavioral
specificity of items on rater agreement, and the relationship between perceived
rating accuracy and rating accuracy.
Organizational Justice: Areas of interest include the relationship between
procedural, distributive, and interactive justice and various organizational
outcomes. Current projects include two survey studies investigating justice
and outcomes such as organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and performance.
Group Decision Making: Two areas of group decision-making are among my interests:
Computer-Mediated Communication. Areas of interest include the influence
of computer-mediated communication on group outcomes and process. Current
projects investigate the relationship between perceived decision accuracy
and decision accuracy and the role of member familiarity.
Social Dilemmas: Areas of interest include social value orientation, uncertainty,
and cognitive processes when determining request size from a common pool
of resources. Current projects include an investigation of the relationship
between social value orientation, type of group interaction, and requests
from a common resource pool.
