My research is concerned with the way in which people find their way to meaningful and satisfying work. I am also interested in the way in which the culture and productivity of business organizations are enhanced when individuals are able to move toward work activities that are inherently satisfying. I approach this research from the perspective of cognitive psychology, and in particular from that aspect of cognitive of psychology that concerns itself with the reciprocal relationship between the individual and culture as the individual makes and finds meaning in the worlds of work organization and social organization and builds the cultures of work and society in the process of doing so. In this regard the most fundamental aspect of my work is concerned with meaning making.
