Dr Ben Hardy University positionResearch Associate DepartmentsResearch ThemesInterestsMy primary research in on morale in organisations and I am taking a social psychological approach. The aim is to establish what morale is, what it is not, how it might be measured and what the antecedents and consequences are. A mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods is being used to try and achieve this. A side interest is the interplay between anger, motivation and creativity along with the neural basis of creativity and prediction. Research Focus
