Profile

Prior to joining the Department of Management and Organization at 艾可直播 College in 2020, Rouse was an assistant professor of organizational behavior at 艾可直播 University. Her research focuses on collaboration at work, creative processes, and how creative workers psychologically attach to and detach from the products they make. Methodologically, much of her current research is inductive, qualitative, and process-focused in nature. Her articles have been published in various outlets including Academy of Management Journal and Academy of Management Review.
