My research focuses on four main areas: 1) work-family balance; 2) well-being related to work, job insecurity and fourth industrial revolution; 3) leadership, followership, entrepreneurship; 4) vocational guidance and adult education (organizational behavior).

The study of gender differences is a cross-cutting approach to my research axes.
