She recently had an article published in the Academy of Management Review, the top journal in her field. The article, "Crossing the Line: Expressions of Anger in Organizations," was coauthored by Deanna Geddes and had been in the works for five years. This journal ranks 17th out of all 1747 peer-reviewed journals in the social sciences.
She also published another paper called "The Impact of Department Climate on Job Satisfaction and Intention to Quit of Woman Faulty in Science and Engineering" that was published in a special issue of Journal of Technology Transfer. Even though that article was published in May of 2006 it has already been cited in the National Academies of Science and Engineering. Because she is publishing in high impact journals, her work has been cited more than 200 times.
The Researchers of the Year are engaged in research projects that solve real, practical problems for Utahns and people throughout the world. They were recognized this year for their research that pushes the boundaries of knowledge and discovery.
