I am a Research Fellow at the University of Southampton, specializing in two key areas of organization theory and organizational behavior. My first area of focus is institutional change and its impact on actors in the field. I delve into the dynamics of resistance to change, threats to professional identity, and the reasons behind the failure of reform attempts in public institutions. The second aspect of my research examines the “dark side” of organizational behavior, including topics like corruption and unethical conduct. I aim to shed light on the unethical behavior that may occur in seemingly noble professions, such as healthcare, by exploring the motivations behind highly-skilled individuals acting unethically, and how they use their specialized knowledge, professional identity, and networking to serve their own interests.
