Occupational & organizational commitment
How attachment to work and to the employing organization, intentions to remain, and felt responsibility are expressed in everyday behavior.
Research
From expertise to organizational strength.
How can professionals and non-professionals draw on each other’s knowledge and roles to collaborate better? I study occupational and organizational commitment and voluntary contribution to the organization.
Current themes
I study how people relate to their occupation and organization, extra-role behavior, and organizational culture— in settings involving hospital staff, community pharmacists, and pharmacy managers.
Through surveys and interviews, I aim to clarify the conditions under which professionals’ knowledge and sense of responsibility translate into collaboration and contribution to the organization.
Focus

Professional and non-professional collaboration
Conditions that help people with different expertise—such as pharmacists and clerical staff in community pharmacies—work together using each other’s knowledge.

Behavior beyond formal role requirements—support for colleagues, workplace improvement—and its relationship to collaboration and organizational performance.
