Lilia Hayrapetyan

 

Lilia Hayrapetyan entered the I/O doctoral program in the Fall of 2003 and is currently completing her second year of coursework. She has been working with Dr. Mindy Engle-Friedman on research related to sleep deprivation and next day effort. With the increase of working hours, and the non-stop work culture, sleep deprivation and its consequences are increasingly becoming major concerns for organizations across many different sectors. One of her recent projects examined the effects of sleep deprivation across a 24-hour period. Lilia is also currently working on research investigating differential item functioning in standardized tests with Drs. Charles Scherbaum and Harold Goldstein using Item Response Theory. Her thesis, supervised by Dr. Goldstein, will examine cross-cultural differences in transformational leadership. Lilia is also collaborating with two other doctoral students on a study investigating the predictors of relational aggression among women in the workplace.

Lilia received her B.A. from the University of Bridgeport , where she majored in Social Sciences and minored in Business Administration. Her senior thesis examined the effects of goal setting and commitment on goal achievement.
