Kate Dupré, Graduate Chair

Research Interests

My program of research focuses on the health effects of work. I study how different forms of workplace mistreatment influence individual health, well-being, attitudes, and behaviours, and how we might mitigate the negative consequences associated with this problematic workplace behaviour. I also study the experience of work for vulnerable and underserved communities, including young employees, older employees, and employees with disabilities. Much of my research focuses on leadership, both in terms of leaders’ own well-being as well as the impact that leadership behaviors have on the well-being of others. Finally, some of my recent research focuses on issues surrounding environmental sustainability from the perspective of organizational behaviour, including what individuals in organizations can do to impact climate change effects, as well as how individuals and their families are influenced by organizational policies and practices related to environmental sustainability.
