Lydia Aletraris
(Curriculum
Vitae) Lydia Aletraris is a graduate student seeking
her Ph.D. in Sociology. Her research interests include work-life issues and how the changing nature of work affects individuals and organizations. She is especially interested in the use of nonstandard work arrangements in organizations. Her earlier research examined how and why temporary agency workers differ from other workers in terms of job satisfaction. Currently, she is using employer-employee matched data from the 2002 General Social Survey and the National Organizations Survey (NOS-III) to study the impact of the prevalence of nonstandard workers in organizations, particularly on relations between employees and management and on levels of harassment and discrimination.
