Research summary
AI-generated

Rong Su studies careers and workplaces, focusing on how people's vocational interests, personality, and fit with jobs and organizations shape career choices, hiring decisions, and workforce diversity. Much of this work develops and validates measurement tools (like interest scales) and synthesizes existing research through large-scale reviews and meta-analyses on topics such as person-organization fit, prosocial motivation at work, and group diversity dynamics (critical mass theory, attraction-selection-attrition theory). The research often addresses practical questions about improving hiring practices while reducing adverse impact on underrepresented groups.
