Biography

Dr. Qi Zhang [鈥楥hee 鈥楯ahng] earned her Ph.D. from the Tippie College of Business at the University of Iowa. Her research focuses on person-environment fit, examining how individuals align with their work environments and the impact of this alignment on workplace outcomes. Challenging the traditional view of fit as purely beneficial and misfit as inherently harmful, her work delves into the complexities and evolving nature of workplace fit, with a goal of understanding how employees experience fit or misfit, and how fit is established, improved, and sustained over time. Recognizing that 鈥渙thers鈥� often form an integral part of one鈥檚 work environment, Dr. Zhang also studies social relationships in the workplace. Her research has been published in prestigious journals, including Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Management, Journal of Vocational Behavior, and Journal of Business Ethics.
