Elisabetta Quattrocchi
I am Elisabetta Quattrocchi and I was
part of the Master Erasmus Mundus programme in 2014. My thesis focused on “The
mediation effect of jealousy in the relationship between intra-sexual competition and harming at workplace” under
the supervision of the Professors Pilar
González-Navarro (University of Valencia) and Rosario Zurriaga (University of Valencia) as home tutors and the Professor Carla Carvalho (University of Coimbra) as host tutor. Right now I'm in
the UN Secretariat in New York and working with the Office of Human Resource
Management, specifically in Learning, Leadership and Organizational Development
section. In this section, I have an opportunity to apply my research skills by analysing
both qualitative and quantitative data related to performance management,
online learning experiences and design of new products. This is an exciting
opportunity for me both personally and professionally to develop my network and
contribute to UN’s global agenda. I strongly feel that I am part of a global
team that fosters UN’s work, as Human Resources is one of the important engines
of the organization. One of the most
exciting moments was when I helped organize an event when the Secretary-General
Ban-ki Moon met with currently serving interns at the UN. For me, it was the
most gratifying moment of meeting the SG so close. Imagine a world leader you
see on TVs and in social media channels becomes real standing next to you.
