Research

Dr. Lysova's research primarily concerns meaningful work, calling, careers, and Corporate Social Responsibility. She is especially interested in understanding what enables employees to experience a sense of work meaningfulness in their work and careers and how the experience of meaningful work can be created and maintained over time by individuals and with the help of organizations. She finds it important to explore how individuals can pursue their meaningful careers in a “healthy” manner in the long term (e.g., focus on work-life balance and well-being). Dr. Lysova is interested in interdisciplinary work, working on the project at the intersection of meaningful work with research on decent work, innovation, CSR, creative industries, or entrepreneurship.
