Biography
Dr. Charlotte Fritz is an Associate Professor in Industrial and Organizational (I/O) Psychology and a faculty member within the Occupational Health Psychology (OHP) Graduate Training Program at Portland State University (PSU). She graduated with her Ph.D. in I/O Psychology from the University of Braunschweig, Germany, in 2005, held a position as Assistant Professor in I/O Psychology at Bowling Green State University from 2005 to 2009, and has been at PSU since 2009.
She has studied employees in a variety of industries and countries to better understand what keeps employees happy, healthy, engaged, and productive. Specifically, she examines the interplay between employee experiences at work and those outside of work. For example, how do experiences outside of work (e.g., sleep, mental disengagement from work, relaxation, or mastery experiences) during different types of work breaks (i.e., vacations, weekends, evenings) impact employees in the workplace? Which work experiences and practices impact employee even outside of work? How can employees be supported (e.g., by their supervisors or spouses) in recovery from work demands? How does replenishing energy outside of work impact employee well-being, engagement, and performance in the workplace? How can positively connecting and engaging with work facilitate employee thriving?
Dr. Fritz’s research has been published in outlets such as the Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Management, Journal of Vocational Behavior, Journal of Organizational Behavior, and Journal of Occupational Health Psychology. She serves on the editorial boards of the European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology, Journal of Management, Journal of Vocational Behavior, Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, Occupational Health Science, and the Journal of Business and Psychology. She has received research funding from the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Oregon Healthy Workforce Center (a NIOSH Center of Excellence), and the USDA Forest Service. Her work has been featured in media outlets such as Harvard Business Review, Wall Street Journal, Oprah Magazine, and The Oregonian.
