Having been a church-planting missionary in France for 17 years, Dunaetz's research focuses on interpersonal conflicts in Christian organizations, such as churches and missions. He especially focuses on conflict processes that can either increase or decrease an organization's effectiveness in carrying out its mission. This research is done from both a social and organizational psychology perspective. His ultimate goal is to help Christians better love and serve God and one another in whatever organizations they find themselves.
