Dr. Reed’s research explores how individuals psychologically connect to their work and how those connections shape their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. He is particularly interested in the unintended consequences of seemingly positive phenomena and how work spills over into nonwork life. Much of his research explores the temporal dynamics of workplace experiences using methods such as experience sampling and multilevel modeling.
