Bouckenooghe’s research focuses on the pivotal role of employees in organizations. He is especially interested in how people and organizations are impacted by change and failure, and how they make sense of and respond to change and change failure. He is also doing research on the role of leadership (i.e., abusive leadership, authentic leadership, servant leadership, etc.) and positive resources (i.e., work engagement, psychological capital, and emotional intelligence) in shaping in-role job performance, extra-role behaviors (OCB, creativity, etc.) and counterproductive behaviors.

Bouckenooghe's work is published in leading management and I&O psychology journals such as Journal of Management, Journal of Business Ethics, Human Relations, Journal of Organizational Behavior, Journal of Vocational Behavior, Journal of Management Studies, Journal of Business and Research, among others. He also reviews for a variety of other leading scholarly journals, including Journal of Management Studies, Human Relations, and Human Resource Management Review.
