• Gender and the evaluation of humor at work.

  Journal of Applied Psychology · 2019-02-07 · 104 citations

  articleOpen access

  Although research has added to our understanding of the positive and negative effects of the use of humor at work, scholars have paid little attention to characteristics of the humor source. We argue that this is an important oversight, particularly in terms of gender. Guided by parallel-constraint-satisfaction theory (PCST), we propose that gender plays an important role in understanding when using humor at work can have costs for the humor source. Humor has the potential to be interpreted as e…

• A 14 nm Embedded STT-MRAM CMOS Technology

  2021 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) · 2020 · 57 citations

  We present the first Embedded Spin-Transfer-Torque MRAM (eMRAM) technology in a 14 nm CMOS node. A novel integration supports the highest eMRAM density (0.0273 um2 cell size), optimal magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) placement between M1-M2 for performance and density, and the lowest-cost integration scheme, with only 3 added mask levels (2 critical + 1 non-critical) and a single added electrode module. An advanced 400°C-compatible MTJ stack is read and written by innovative reference-cell sensing…

• Getting worse or getting better? Understanding the antecedents and consequences of emotion profile transitions during COVID-19-induced organizational crisis.

  Journal of Applied Psychology · 2021-08-01 · 49 citations

  article1st authorCorresponding

  While some organizations are thriving during the COVID-19 pandemic, many are experiencing a crisis-a threat to organizational longevity, time pressure, and inadequate resources. Building on prior work examining emotions during times of crisis and changes that people undergo during major life transitions, as well as media accounts suggesting that employees have had positive and negative emotions tied to aspects of working during COVID-19, we adopt a person-centric view to examine profiles of mont…

• The influence of COVID-induced job search anxiety and conspiracy beliefs on job search effort: A within-person investigation.

  Journal of Applied Psychology · 2021-05-01 · 41 citations

  articleSenior author

  New labor market entrants face significant hurdles when searching for a job, with these stressors likely amplified during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we consider how COVID-induced job search anxiety-feeling anxious about one's job search due to issues imposed by the pandemic-has the potential to affect adaptive, goal-directed efforts, and maladaptive, goal-avoidant reactions. We theorize that this anxiety can prompt job seekers to engage in problem-solving pondering and affect-focused ruminatio…

• Does feedback matter for job search self‐regulation? It depends on feedback quality

  Personnel Psychology · 2019-02-20 · 38 citations

  articleOpen accessSenior author

  Abstract Job search represents a dynamic process through which job seekers must consistently engage in effective self‐regulation. Although scholars have increasingly begun to theorize and conceptualize the job search in this manner, little is known about what fosters effective self‐regulation week‐to‐week. In light of this theoretical gap, we integrate self‐regulation theory with the feedback literature to examine how feedback quality influences affective, cognitive, and behavioral regulatory pr…
