During her earlier affiliation with the University of Adelaide, she co-authored 'Distinguishing Between the Effect of Perceived Organisational Support and Person–Organisation Fit on Work Outcomes,' published in The Australasian Journal of Organisational Psychology (2009, Volume 2, pp. 1-9) with Aspa Sarris. Conducted among employees in an Australian hospital, the study investigated person–organisation fit—defined as congruence between perceived and ideal organisational values—and its relationship with perceived organisational support, job satisfaction, and organisational commitment. Findings indicated that both factors significantly predict job satisfaction and commitment, though perceived organisational support did not moderate the relationship and appeared the stronger predictor. This work highlights the critical role of organisational support in high-turnover settings like hospitals, informing practices to enhance staff retention and satisfaction.
