One of my research projects focuses on identifying the factors that lead to first authorship in management scholarship by analyzing a data set collected from 780 authors of top-tier management journals. A second research project focuses on theorizing the relationship between employee benefits and employee performance with a theoretical model based on organizational support theory to explain the relationship. A third research project consists of an empirical study of the pay risk acceptance level accepted by individuals for pay for performance while working on teams. A fourth project examines the effect of the publication of scholarly books as an outcome that can contribute to advancing the field of management by encouraging scholars to publish more holistic theoretical frameworks based on a cognitive mapping analysis.
