Research Interests
Michael’s research centres on the causes and consequences of individuals’ suffering in the workplace, exploring how organisations threaten workers’ mental health and erode their sense of self. He employs qualitative, phenomenological methods to study accountants, chefs, lawyers, consultants, doctors, nurses, police officers and other occupational groups.
His work also addresses identity regulation—how organisations shape, constrain and re-define personal identity—and the ethical and methodological challenges of organisational research.
Publication Trends
Between 2015 and 2025 Michael has produced a steady stream of articles focusing on three broad themes: (1) identity regulation and the phenomenology of self in organisational settings, (2) digital innovation, stigma and professional regulation in healthcare and low- and middle-income countries, and (3) qualitative methodology, including interview design, covert research ethics and phenomenological approaches.
