Summary
Intergenerational demands as a double-edged sword in the work context. Due to rapid population ageing, an increasing number of Australian workers will need to provide care to older people or mentor younger workers and successors. This project investigates how personal and organisational resources can reduce negative outcomes and maximise positive outcomes of intergenerational demands in the work context.

Predicting the diagnostic performance of individuals and organisations. This project aims to address diagnostic error in advanced technology systems, by providing a mechanism to assess and improve individual diagnosticians’ performance. Organisations that rely on their employees’ diagnostic skills rarely assess them once the operators become qualified, so there is no basis for interventions that might prevent diagnostic errors affecting thousands. This research tests a new method of assessing diagnostic skills based on how skilled operators respond to cues. This project will test how employees’ diagnostic skills change and whether this change corresponds to measures of organisational performance. This research is expected to provide organisations with a tool to pre-empt diagnostic errors that could minimise costs to the economy.Read moreRead less
Juggling priorities: How do tertiary students balance work and study? This project aims to apply boundary management theory to examine how tertiary students cope with the competing demands of work and study while at university. The project will use survey, interview, and diary studies to test the associations between work demands and academic, career, and well-being outcomes over time. The expected outcomes will contribute an improved understanding of these relationships and the underlying mecha ....Juggling priorities: How do tertiary students balance work and study?
