Themes in depth

The questions behind each theme.

  • What happens to employee privacy when AI systems are used to observe and evaluate work?
  • Where should the ethical lines around algorithmic monitoring and decision-making in HR sit?

Green and sustainable HRM

  • How do green HRM systems and organisational culture relate to environmental performance?
  • What does an integrative framework for green HRM and green culture need to account for?

Fairness, well-being and workplace behaviour

This strand follows the everyday experiences that shape how people feel and behave at work: perceived unfairness, bullying, workplace gossip and the loneliness that can come with them.

  • What role does the meaningfulness of work play when bullying happens during home-based telework?
  • How does perceived unfairness connect with workplace loneliness, and what toll does that take?
  • How do cyberloafing and gossip-induced emotional exhaustion relate, and where does self-esteem fit?

Careers, gender and global mobility

This strand looks at careers from two directions. One is the multi-level barriers, many of them unwritten, that shape the career engagement of women in India, the subject of her 2026 lead-authored paper in the Asia Pacific Journal of Management.

  • What multi-level barriers, visible and invisible, shape the career engagement of women in India?
  • What role does perceived credibility play in expatriate adjustment and socialisation in the host country?
  • How do organisations select and evaluate expatriates?

Founders, new ventures and governance

Two of her three best-paper awards come from this strand. It looks at what lets people in new ventures work with agility: autonomy, trust in the founder, work engagement, the freedom to work and the quality of a founder’s listening.

  • What roles do autonomy and trust play in agility in new ventures, seen through a job demands-resources lens?
  • How do work engagement and trust in the founder relate to employee agility across cultural settings?
  • How do entrepreneurial freedom to work and founders’ quality of listening relate in start-ups, and where does learning goal orientation fit?
