RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT:     

Applying Organizational Science to Tackle the Challenge of Burnout

With over 50% of the healthcare workforce dealing regularly with burnout, we are working with Prisma Health-Upstate to conduct applied research that uncovers: 1) the underlying patterns of  organizational, group, and individual factors that lead to burnout, and 2) valid tools for proactively and reactively responding to burnout, namely through multilevel interventions implemented from a systemic perspective. 

Research funded by the National Science Foundation, Prisma Health-Upstate and Clemson University School of Health Research (CUSHR).
Research conducted in collaboration with Dr. Deborah DiazGranados (Virginia Commonwealth University), Dr. Travis Maynard (Colorado State University), Dr Eduardo Salas (Rice University), Sharon Wilson (Prisma Health-Upstate),  & Dr. Chip Wiper (Prisma Health-Upstate)

RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT:
