>>Agnes Zdaniuk: My research examines two keys things. First of all, it looks at fairness issues within the organization. So, I have examined that from a number of different perspectives, but I think my core area of research there is understanding mistreatment in the work place and to do that I look at kind of two things. So, one is how people feel about mistreatment and how it impacts their lives, both at work and outside of work but also how they cope with mistreatment, so I kind of look at those two polar extremes and try to understand why do some people take one route and why do people take the other route when something bad happens to them. And, then I also look at organizational factors like leadership can influence how people feel at work, so some of my work looks at how leaders can influence how you respond to mistreatments. So, whether you are engaged in kind of more pro-social responses like forgiveness, it also looks at on the kind of behaviors leadership engaging in to promote an overall kind of healthy work environment beyond fairness related issues. I think fundamentally everything I do is just care by one motivation is how do we makes peoples' lives better at work ultimately that's what keeps me up at night, right, is trying to understand what we can do as researchers to help and form business practice about just how to make life better for people at work.
