Primary research areas

Di­git­al trans­formation
My re­search in this stream fo­cuses on what di­git­al trans­formation is and how it dif­fers from oth­er forms of or­gan­iz­a­tion­al trans­formation. It ex­am­ines how and why the same di­git­al trans­formation ini­ti­at­ive can evoke dif­fer­ent re­ac­tions in sim­il­ar con­texts, thereby high­light­ing the emer­ging and dy­nam­ic con­sequen­tial nature of di­git­al trans­form­a­tions
Di­git­al tech­no­logy, work, and al­gorithmic man­age­ment
My re­search in this stream fo­cuses on un­der­stand­ing the con­sequences of di­git­al tech­no­lo­gies on how work tasks are con­duc­ted, how the con­tent of work is be­ing re­defined, and how work is man­aged in hy­brid work set­tings. It also ex­plores the rise of al­gorithmic man­age­ment and its im­pact on every­day work prac­tices.
Hu­man flour­ish­ing in the di­git­al age
My re­search in this stream ex­plores how, al­though tech­no­lo­gic­al ad­vance­ment is of­ten as­so­ci­ated with hu­man pro­gress, the use of di­git­al tech­no­logy can some­times im­pede people’s abil­ity to de­vel­op their vir­tues and thrive. It in­vest­ig­ates the im­pact of al­gorithmic man­age­ment on work­ers’ fun­da­ment­al rights to free­dom and dig­nity in their work.

Re­think­ing work in the age of di­git­al trans­formation

My research examines how digital technologies shape, transform, and sometimes challenge the ways we work, interact, and thrive. I focus on how organizations can leverage digital tools not only for efficiency, but to promote human dignity, autonomy, and flourishing. Across diverse contexts, I explore how workers respond to, adapt to, or resist digital transformation initiatives. 

Because technological progress can both enable and undermine meaningful and ethical work, my research seeks to understand and navigate its complex and often contradictory impacts. This includes addressing critical concerns such as algorithmic control, digital inequality, and workplace stress. I provide insights that support organizations in developing responsible strategies for digital transformation, algorithmic management, and hybrid work practices. 

I am actively engaged in international research collaborations on human flourishing in the digital age and contribute to shaping the future direction of IS research. My ambition is to help organizations, workers, and society build inclusive, ethical, and sustainable futures of work.
