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.
