Baruch College, situated in the world’s business capital, is at the forefront of research, analysis, and discourse on subjects related to the modern world of corporate and professional work. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, Baruch faculty have led the conversation on the multifaceted business, education, and societal implications of recent workplace trends and developments.

Baruch faculty have conducted research and authored manuscripts on topical business-related issues such as remote work, flexible work, quiet quitting, telehealth, and automation. Assistant Professor Andrea Bazzoli, PhD, and Assistant Professor Anna Godollei, PhD, who both teach psychology courses in the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences, co-authored papers on, respectively, the employee-perceived backlash against flexible work arrangements and how employees’ appraisals of automation affect their job attitude. Assistant Professor Isaac Vaghefi, PhD, of the Paul H. Chook Department of Information Systems and Statistics in the Zicklin School of Business, co-authored a manuscript examining antecedents and outcomes in the IT-enabled remote working context.

Several professors from the Zicklin School’s Narendra Paul Loomba Department of Management have authored or co-authored papers published in or submitted to management and behavioral science journals. Assistant Professor Matthew Perrigino, PhD, delved into management issues related to remote workers and technology use. Professor Alex Mills, PhD, examined pay parity and patient access in telehealth and combining in-person and virtual channels in service operations. Associate Professor Ruth Beer, PhD, explored the behavioral externalities of process automation, while Associate Professor Stephan Dilchert, PhD, explored the quiet quitting phenomenon. 

Professor Dilchert’s article is part of a longitudinal study among technology and biotech workers to investigate how remote and hybrid work relate to employee mood, satisfaction, performance, and turnover intentions. Through this research, the project team aims to provide critical insights into the evolving work landscape and its implications for employee success and health. 

In September, Dilchert joined Dan Clivner (’85), Esq., managing partner LA and global co-head of private equity at Sidley Austin LLP, to discuss the future of work as part of the Zicklin Talks Business webinar series. Their wide-ranging discussion, moderated by Zicklin School benefactor and Baruch alumnus Larry Zicklin (’57), touched upon the challenges of navigating the post-pandemic work landscape from both a business management and an HR management standpoint, as well as on what managers, workers, and graduates entering the workforce need to succeed in this rapidly evolving environment.
