She is also Associate Director of Research at Purdue’s Center for Working Well, an interdisciplinary hub at Purdue dedicated to advancing research and practice on building healthier, more sustainable ways of working. Kate’s research examines how life outside of work shapes employee emotions, attitudes, and experiences at work, as well as how contemporary issues of justice affect employee outcomes. Her work has been published in leading journals, including Academy of Management Journal, Organization Science, Journal of Applied Psychology, and Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes. Kate received her Ph.D. from the University of Georgia. Prior to joining Purdue, she began her faculty career at the Lundquist College of Business at the University of Oregon. Before pursuing her doctorate, she worked in public accounting at Deloitte. In addition to her research, Kate is passionate about helping organizations and individuals rethink how we work and live. Through speaking engagements, workshops, and outreach efforts, she translates research into actionable strategies that support both thriving organizations and thriving people. She frequently delivers evidence-based talks on intuitive working, work–life integration, and well-being, helping professional, student, and community audiences navigate a changing world of work with more clarity, sustainability, and humanity. In 2024, Kate was awarded (in collaboration with Allison Gabriel) the inaugural BetterUp grant from the Center for Purpose and Performance, recognizing her research on Intuitive Working — a novel approach that leverages adaptive cues to promote sustained performance and well-being. Kate has been recognized across institutions for exceptional teaching. In 2024, she was named a “Career Champion” at Purdue for her work in preparing students for success beyond graduation. She has received distinguished teaching awards in every term since arriving at Purdue and was recently nominated for Purdue’s 2025 Early Career Teaching Excellence Award.

I investigate fruitful ways life outside of work—such as leisure, hobbies, family, and community— influences employee emotions, attitudes, and behaviors. I am intrigued by the complexities and synergies generated from a living a full life. I believe that we can create a more comprehensive understanding of employees if we broadly and thoughtfully investigate healthy and harmful stimuli that people face beyond the confines of their work. I also explore interpersonal dynamics at work, namely contemporary extensions to justice research. In this research stream, I theorize about the various ways issues of justice influence employees and their work environments. A final research stream emerged from the nexus of my study of work non-work and justice that focuses on the role of complex emotions at work—such as nostalgia, pride, and gratitude—in explaining the relationships between experiences in and outside the workplace and important employee outcomes. https://www.katezipay.com/teaching daily 0.75 2025-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611c020b82621167cfe0c82a/f93369dd-c2c6-4583-a5a4-f3f842b32dab/IMG_0750.jpg Teaching - Leadership in a Changing World This course is designed to help you become a more effective leader in a complex and rapidly changing world. Effective leadership— developed over time through practice, feedback, and self-reflection—is crucial for organizational success. While engaging in effective leadership practices can be rewarding, it is also a significant challenge for most people. This course aims to equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to improve your leadership capabilities and confidence based on evidence-based practices and leadership theories. Through interactive sessions, we will explore various aspects of effective leadership, assess where you stand in your leadership development journey, and hone your leadership skills. By the end of the course, you should be able to recognize the importance of interpersonal relationship skills and abilities in effective leadership, discuss key leadership principles and practices in organizational settings with peers, colleagues, supervisors, and mentors, identify your own leadership strengths and areas for development, propose evidence-based solutions to real-world leadership problems, and develop a leadership philosophy based on your personal values and evidence-based strategies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611c020b82621167cfe0c82a/e126d68e-79d8-4c6f-ac3f-360df4974b68/BP5_0078+copy.jpg https://www.katezipay.com/vita daily 0.75 2024-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611c020b82621167cfe0c82a/1629228673260-LMGX1YMGKG69TUUCRUVJ/unsplash-image-OQSCtabGkSY.jpg C.V. - Please click here to view my most recently updated CV https://www.katezipay.com/speaking daily 0.75 2025-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611c020b82621167cfe0c82a/c2c63c3c-b537-4b2f-a460-04728b0e0994/Kate+presenting+copy.jpeg
