Stacey L. Parker

Associate Professor in Organisational Psychology, The University of Queensland

Stacey completed her PhD in 2012 and joined the School of Psychology at the University of Queensland, Australia, in 2013, following a postdoctoral research position at the School of Management, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.

Her research is in the areas of occupational health psychology and work motivation. More specifically, she studies how employees manage their energy during the work day, how employees recover from work stress in off-the-job time, how jobs can be designed to maximize well-being, motivation, and performance, and she also more recently explores the 'hidden costs' of performance-based pay and compensation systems.

She is an endorsed organisational psychologist and consults on applied research projects. Her consulting work has included tackling issues with selection and recruitment, training and development, career development, work design, change management, workload management, and operational safety.​​

She serves on the editorial boards for the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology and the European Journal of Work and Organisational Psychology.
