Ian Hughes

I consider my research to primarily be at the intersection of organizational behavior and occupational health psychology. Specifically, I will often focus on the impacts of person-to-person exchanges (both at work and at home) on workers' well-being—inclusive of psychological (e.g., burnout, work engagement), behavioral (e.g., aggression at work and at home), emotional (e.g., anger, anxiety), and cognitive (e.g., self-control) indicators. I am also interested in technology and work, politics and work, and human-animal interaction.
