Research Interests:
Throughout her career Dr. Shanock has engaged in extensive research involving perceived organizational support (POS). She has been interested in POS largely because there are a host of positive outcomes when a person feels valued and cared about by one’s work organization. Some of her recent work has focused on organizational support during times of change, the role of current employees in supporting newcomers, and wellness interventions to improve well-being. Dr. Shanock plans to continue to work in the employee well-being area, focusing on helping organizations be supportive towards employees, wellness outcomes that come from working for a supportive organization, and evidence-based insights to improve employee wellness more generally.
