Nathan A. Bowling is a Professor of Psychology at Wright State University, where he teaches within the industrial-organizational psychology Ph.D. concentration.  He has authored over 60 peer-reviewed articles, many of which have appeared in top-tier journals, including the *Journal of Applied Psychology*, the *Journal of Personality and Social Psychology*, the *Journal of Occupational Health Psychology*, and *Organizational Research Methods*.  His research was featured in Joireman and Van Lange’s (2015) American Psychological Association book *How to Publish High-Quality Research*, in 2017 he was listed among the top 2% of most cited authors in I-O psychology textbooks (see Aguinis et al., 2017), and in 2020 he was listed in Ioannidis, Boyack, and Baas's (2020) database of the world’s most cited scientists (top 2% both for career and for 2019 among Business and Management researchers).  Nathan is a fellow of two professional organizations—the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) and the Association for Psychological Science (APS).  He serves as an associate editor for the *Journal of Occupational Health Psychology* and as an editorial board member of several other journals.  As a PI, Nathan has been awarded over $950,000 in external funding since 2013.  His current research is funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and he currently serves as a consultant to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). **Research Interest(s)** Employee Well-Being: I have a longstanding interest in employee well-being.  My research in this area focuses on (a) how employee well-being is most effectively measured, (b) situational and individual difference variables as predictors of employee well-being, and (c) employee well-being's relationship with job performance.    Counterproductive Work Behavior: Much of my research focuses on counterproductive work behavior (CWB).  My research in this area examines three main questions: (a) What situational and individual difference variables predict CWBs?; (b) What effects do employees experience when they are the targets of CWBs?; and (c) What factors influence whether or not witnesses of CWBs report their coworkers’ behavior to organizational authorities? Research Participant Carelessness: When using self-report measures, researchers generally assume that participants carefully read and consider every questionnaire item before they respond.  Unfortunately, questionnaire respondents are sometimes inattentive.  In recognition of this, I’ve recently begun a line of research examining research participant carelessness.  This research examines why some participants respond to self-report measures without closely reading the questionnaire items and what can be done to prevent such behavior.
