Her research focuses on how individual differences influence human resource practices and organizational initiatives, particularly in enhancing workplace safety, managing work-family conflict, and improving telework strategies. Key areas include safety climate dynamics, fatigue management in high-risk industries like offshore oil and gas, and the efficacy of digital ergonomics training for remote workers. Payne emphasizes mutual benefits between employees and organizations through evidence-based practices.
Her work spans interdisciplinary collaborations, addressing challenges in pandemic-induced telework, mentorship impacts on turnover, and the validation of performance appraisal systems. Notable contributions include longitudinal studies on offshore worker fatigue and safety culture assessments in small-to-medium enterprises. Payne also advocates for employer-driven traffic safety programs and the role of counterfactual thinking in workplace safety improvements.
