Biography:

Meghan Davenport’s research focuses on workplace aging- specifically, how lifespan development influences motivation at work. One of her research streams focuses broadly on aging at work, asking the question: How do people change across the lifespan, and how do those changes impact them at work? Another research stream focuses more specifically on the intersection of aging with workplace learning and job search. Davenport is interested in how people stay motivated through the often effortful, stressful, and potentially identity-threatening processes of learning and job searching. She received her Ph.D. from Rice University and her work has been published in outlets such as Personnel Psychology and Work, Aging, and Retirement.
