My research focuses on macro-organizational behavior, strategic human capital, and organization theory, with particular emphasis on the sociology of labor markets, career mobility, and labor market inequalities.
Research Program
Work and employment relationships have transformed considerably in recent years, shaped by greater external job mobility, fewer permanent job relationships, and an uptick in temporary employment and flexible workforce practices. My research addresses these shifts and emerging patterns in work and employment, with an emphasis on the interactions among organizations, workers, and social structures such as social networks and status hierarchies. Theoretically, I draw on research traditions in organization theory, economic sociology, and strategic human capital. Empirically, I rely on quantitative methods, leveraging novel data on career and wage trajectories and conducting econometric analyses, primarily on large-scale linked employer–employee datasets from organizational contexts in the United States and Europe. My work has been published or accepted for publication in Academy of Management Journal, American Journal of Sociology, Nature, Nature Human Behaviour, and Organization Studies.
