Dr. Woo’s substantive research so far has focused on how people’s personality and motivation can help explain various psychological phenomena in the workplace. Particular outcomes of interest include work attitudes (e.g., satisfaction and commitment), withdrawal behaviors (e.g., turnover), and interpersonal relationships (e.g., networking and social networks). In addition, her research often involves clarifying and/or improving issues related to research methodology and measurement. Sang’s overall research program is motivated by her desire to understand, harness, and/or foster OPENNESS in academia as well as the rest of the world — Openness to new ideas and experiences, to people with different opinions and cultural backgrounds, to important life lessons and opportunities for growth, and to novel and underutilized scientific methods (e.g., inductive/abductive, person-centered/configural, Big Data, Bayesian, qualitative).
