Dr Leo McCann
Senior Lecturer
I am a sociologist interested in the realities of working life for white-collar employees (especially middle managers). I have conducted interview, survey, and observational research with employees in the banking and insurance industries in UK, Japan, and USA. I am also interested in a wider range of sectors, but my focus is strongly on white-collar work, especially widely-reported problems of staff morale; such as feelings of disaffection and detachment from top management, heavy workloads, and other forms of workplace dysfunction.
