H. Colleen Stuart

My research explores how disruptions to interdependent structures influence individual and collective outcomes such as performance, adaptation and relationship duration. I am primarily interested in how social systems adapt to structural changes that force individuals to reconfigure their collaborative work. As a secondary interest I study misconduct in teams and organizations, in particular events relating to misconduct that call into question the normal operating flow of a system.
