Molly Sloan, PHD

Assistant Professor, Management at Radford University
From Atlanta, Georgia

I primarily teach courses related to human behavior in the workplace. Understanding why people behave in certain ways, what makes people feel motivated, or how to be an impactful leader can make anyone more effective and dynamic in the workplace. My research aligns with these teaching topics, as I focus on why employees feel stressed at work, how they respond to that stress, and how that stress impacts their ability to be productive and happy worker. More recently I have begun to focus on employees who work outside of the traditional Monday-Friday, 9:00am-5:00pm schedule, with an emerging focus on employed students (balancing work and school). Office Hours: Monday 2:00-4:00 and Wednesday 9:00-11:00
