Her work comparing individual- level and aggregate correlations is characterized by careful application of statistical analyses related to aggregation problems as well as a concern that these analyses reflect psychological and sociological theory appropriately. Analyses of the satisfaction-performance relationship at the aggregate level and her approach to assessing the effects of climate and personality on work behavior and attitudes serve as models of the appropriate use and integration of theory, measurement, and statistical analyses in the interest of creative scientific development."
