Participant recruitment for ongoing research projects
Megan Benzing‘s thesis research studies how living a calling leads to engagement (and lower burnout), benefiting the organization through the enactment of OCBs.
More and more employees are looking for a job that serves the greater good and fulfills a personal calling. Help us learn more about the impact of this trend by participating in a new study about how you feel about your job and how you work with others.
The survey will take 15-20 minutes of your time and involves nominating at least one fellow coworker to also participate. To show our appreciation, you’ll receive a $5 Amazon gift card and be entered into a raffle to win one of two $50 Amazon gift cards.
If you work part- or full-time, are at least 18 years old, and can complete the survey in English, please participate here: https://tinyurl.com/calling-survey.

Work during COVID-19
Chloe Darlington, Megan Benzing and Alyssa Birnbaum are doing research on workers forced to work remotely during the pandemic. They are using reflexive thematic analysis and applying boundary theory to analyze interviews about work-life balance during this time.
