Welcome! I’m Brent Reed, a doctoral candidate in Organizational Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
My research focuses on worker well-being, particularly how we experience and recover from workplace stress. My current work explores how our well-being is shaped by work identification—experiencing a sense of oneness with work and seeing it as an integral part of our identity. Drawing from a previous career in health care, my aims are to conduct research that makes a meaningful difference in people’s lives and to translate organizational science into conversations that resonate with decision-makers and the people they serve. With a plan to complete my dissertation and graduate next spring, I will be entering the academic job market beginning this summer.
