C.C. (Claudia) Kitz, Dr
Postdoctoral Researcher
Expertise
My primary research interest revolves around the delivery of bad news in a workplace setting, such as layoffs, denied promotions, or negative performance evaluations. I am investigating how the communication of bad news influences individual processes and careers, workplace relationships, and organizations. To study this, I employ various methodological approaches, including (natural) experiments, and extensive data collection and analysis techniques such as web scraping, machine learning, or large language models. I have a particular focus on exploring how positive outcomes can be encouraged following negative experiences, how individuals cope with these challenging events, how employees adapt their careers, or how organizations face reputational issues. In other lines of research, I explore how 1) self-regulation impacts leadership effectiveness, 2) how a combination of individual- and context-related variables promotes resilience in leaders, 3) how organizations benefit from adapting to an aging workforce.
