Nicholas J. Haynes
I graduated with a B.S. in Psychology/Systems from Taylor University in 2015 and worked as a Research Associate Intern at American Institutes for Research. I joined the Industrial-Organizational Psychology Ph.D. program at the University of Georgia in 2017 and received my M.S. last spring. My research focuses on gaining a better understanding of the processes and consequences of heavy work investment (e.g., workaholism, work passion, work engagement) with the goal of developing effective interventions. Specific areas of interest include the psycho-physiological pathways and outcomes of workaholism as well as the organizational and societal influence on these relationships. I utilize diverse research methods such as interviews, systematic reviews and meta-analysis, multilevel and longitudinal analysis, theory and conceptual development, physiological data analysis, and scale development and validation. Much of my current cross-cultural research revolves around measurement translation and validation. My research has been disseminated through posters and symposia at national and international conferences and articles in American Psychologist and Journal of Applied Psychology. When not working, I enjoy playing basketball, boardgames, and the guitar; building up my woodworking skills; and going on walks with my wife, dog, and one-year-old son.
