| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
My research project focused on organizational dynamics leading to strike action and perpetuating distrust between labor and management in professional organizations. Through multiple field trips, I interviewed a large number of journalists KBS and MBC, two major public broadcasters in South Korea to understand the process of conflict escalation leading to the Media Strike in 2012, as well as what happened to them after the end of the strike. My colleagues in Korea, Australia and the United States and I presented the outcomes of analysis of the interviews in several international conferences and published five articles in major scholarly journals. Our research contributes to the literature on workplace conflict as well as on professional organizations and institutional theory.
