Chair in Organisational Psychology and Human Resource Management

I am a Professor of Organisational Psychology and Human Resource Management at the University of Bath, School of Management. Born and educated in Istanbul (Bogazici University), I completed my Ph.D. study at Warwick Business School, University of Warwick. Over the last decade, I explored how employees feel motivated and productive at work. In particular, my research and teaching focus on how employees obtain personalized human resource practices and engage in proactive job crafting to enhance their well-being. Placing employees in a position of self-starters and change-initiator, my research explores how new ways of working impact on employee engagement and productivity. My ideas have reached a wide range of audience through my peer-reviewed publications, book and articles targeted at managers.
