In the years 2019–2020, I was also a subject representative for business administration. In 2017 I was elected to the Faculty Board for Social Sciences (ONSAM) and in 2018–2020 I was ONSAM's vice chairperson and in 2021 chairperson.

My previous research focused on employers' decision-making and "matching" in the labor market. In the years 2012–2014, I was a manager for the international project “Active Matching: Strategic Support of Labor Market Counseling” at Masaryk University, Czech Republic, where I was employed for 12 years as a research assistant / researcher.
The latest research application is about hybrid working tensions.
I am also very interested in educational/pedagogical research and have published conference papers and book chapters on "flipped classroom" and students' active engagement.
