Personal information

Evgenia I. Lysova is a Section Head of VU People@Work and an Associate Professor in Organizational Behavior at the Department of Management and Organization of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Dr. Lysova is an internationally recognized expert in meaningful work, leading several special issues on the topic. In collaboration with colleagues across the Globe, she has been leading the efforts aimed at creating a community of meaningful work scholars, resulting in organizing diverse seminars, conferences, and virtual event series on the topic. To serve the academic community, she was a representative-at-large of the Careers Division at the Academy of Management, a co-lead organizer of the division's two specialized conferences, an organizer of the European Group of Organizational Studies conference (EGOS2021), and a mentor for young scholars.

Research

Dr. Lysova's research primarily concerns meaningful work, calling, careers, and Corporate Social Responsibility. She is especially interested in understanding what enables employees to experience a sense of work meaningfulness in their work and careers and how the experience of meaningful work can be created and maintained over time by individuals and with the help of organizations. She finds it important to explore how individuals can pursue their meaningful careers in a “healthy” manner in the long term (e.g., focus on work-life balance and well-being). Dr. Lysova is interested in interdisciplinary work, working on the project at the intersection of meaningful work with research on decent work, innovation, CSR, creative industries, or entrepreneurship.
