Andersson, Ph.D., assistant professor of sociology in Baylor’s College of Arts & Sciences. (Terry Goodrich, assistant director of Baylor Media Communications, covers psychology research and faculty.)

This article mentions research by Baylor University which found that people who see God as a “secure base” for intimacy and attachment are more likely to be emotionally committed to their workplace and satisfied with their jobs. They also tend to see their work as a calling from God. Lead author for the study, an analysis of data from Baylor Religion Survey 2011, was Blake V. Kent, a doctoral candidate in sociology in Baylor’s College of Arts & Sciences. (Terry Goodrich, assistant director of Baylor Media Communications, covers sociology research and faculty. This research was originally pitched to national media in March 2016)
