Niina Nurmi is a researcher in the fields of organizational psychology and organizational behavior, with a focus on leadership, work planning, and self-organization in contemporary knowledge-intensive organizations. Her research examines how digital transformation and information technology reshape knowledge work, virtual collaboration, and managerial practices.
A central theme in her work is understanding how digital tools and new forms of organizing influence work processes, team dynamics, and coordination in distributed and virtual work environments. She also studies the implications of these changes for employee well-being, work engagement, and innovative performance. Through this lens, her research contributes to a deeper understanding of how organizations can support sustainable and effective knowledge work in increasingly digital contexts.
Niina’s research is grounded in empirical fieldwork and employs a mixed-methods approach. She combines quantitative and qualitative research methods with psycho-physiological measurements to capture both behavioral and experiential aspects of work and leadership. This integrative methodological approach enables a nuanced analysis of individual, team, and organizational-level dynamics in modern work settings.
