Research Interests
Jim is interested most of all in finding ways to help organisations enhance their effectiveness while maintaining or improving employee health and well-being. His recent research and consultancy has focused on the psychological and system factors that influence operational risk, particularly in safety-critical environments.
In addition to his doctoral research with Eurostar, Jim has worked in collaboration with a number of external agencies, including British Energy, the Police and Fire services, Social Services, the Department for Work and Pensions, and Care UK / NHS England (evaluating NHS111). He is the academic supervisor for two Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) in collaboration with VolkerRail and Amey, developing and testing behavioural interventions to further improve safety for those working in the railway industry. Dr Morgan also leads the Psychology Applied to Safety & Health research team which conducts research and consultancy in industrial and health settings.
