Work Psychology

The Goldsmiths work psychology cluster conducts research on issues in occupational health psychology, individual differences in the workplace (e.g. intelligence, personality, psychological flexibility, creativity), leadership, and workplace relationships. We emphasize the application of modern statistical methods to rigorously answer questions of relevance to employees and the organisations in which they work.
