Michael Clinton earned his academic training prior to joining King's in 2001, though specific degrees and institutions are not detailed in the provided text.
His research focuses on the interplay between worker wellbeing and effectiveness, especially through the lens of self-control, calling, and psychological contracts. He investigates how modern work dynamics—such as hybrid work, job crafting, and commuting—affect employees’ psychological states. His work often employs longitudinal and daily diary designs, drawing on theories from self-determination, goal systems, and resource allocation.
His recent publications explore themes like the dual-edged nature of workplace calling, the impact of job autonomy on strain, and how self-sacrifice at work spills over into personal life and even driving behavior. His research consistently appears in top-tier journals including the Journal of Management, Journal of Organizational Behavior, and Human Resource Management Journal.
Michael Clinton has secured and led major research projects, including:
- Work/Place: The Changing Nature of Work in London (ESRC-funded)
