Research
Since completing my PhD in October 2018, I have pursued a dynamic research agenda focused on institutional perspectives in HRM, leadership, and operational management, particularly within SMEs. My work has been published in leading journals such as the International Journal of Hospitality Management (3*), Industrial Marketing Management (3*), and the Asia Pacific Journal of HR (2*), among others, with two additional manuscripts currently under review in ABS 3* outlets. I regularly contribute as a reviewer for journals like IJHM, Journal of Small Business Management, and Employee Relations, supporting the advancement of rigorous scholarship.
