About

My research focuses on work design in production contexts, and its implications for motivation and learning. In my research, I use an interdisciplinary approach with a combination of operations management and psychology. My theoretical grounding lies mainly in Self-Determination Theory and Work Design. https://research.chalmers.se//en/person/i99teel
