University of Central Florida

Chelsea LeNoble is an assistant professor of psychology in the Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology doctoral program at the University of Central Florida. Her research focuses on issues at the intersection of work and societal resilience. LeNoble studies the implications of burnout in occupations critical to society, developing theory and interventions designed to advance human resilience in work and non-work domains of life. For instance, she has published research advancing multilevel workplace resilience theory, examining the effects of transboundary disasters on employee well-being, and exploring how virtual reality nature experiences can help employees recover from job stress. She most often conducts this work in interdisciplinary research teams, ascribing to the National Science Foundation notion of CONVERGE: the greatest challenges facing society cannot be solved by one discipline alone. LeNoble completed her MS and PhD in I-O Psychology at the Florida Institute of Technology, followed by a joint postdoctoral fellowship appointment at Clemson University and Prisma Health. LeNoble’s work has been funded by the Duke Energy Foundation, National Science Foundation, National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, Office of Naval Research, and Natural Hazards Center. In addition, she has developed collaborative, community-centered partnerships with academic, industry, public service, and non-profit organizations, where she strives to translate I-O Psychology research into evidence-based practice by providing expertise across conceptual and methodological domains.
