Stefanie has received funding by ESRC, British Academy / Leverhulme Trust, British Academy of Management, and Council for International Veterinary Medical Education. Her work has been published in major journals, such as Work, Employment & Society, Public Administration, Journal of Business Ethics, European Management Review, International Journal of Human Resource Management, Culture & Organization, Qualitative Research in Organizations and Management, and Journal of Organizational Change Management as well as in two research monographs.
