Research
I am deeply interested in how employees navigate the uncertain workplace. Be it brought about by the global crises, the emergence of AI, or changing cultural values, workplace uncertainty has become one of the most pressing problems for organizational members.
To examine the impact of workplace uncertainty, my research takes on two interconnected streams: Trust and Creativity, due to their capabilities to help employees manage experienced uncertainty, adapt to changes at work, and cooperate to bring about innovations.
