Research Objectives:

The three research programs I’m working currently on may reflect well my present and future research interests, which main objectives are:
  • Having a better understanding on the relationship and interaction between performance and culture, how to create high performance working environment by utilizing the distinctiveness of (national / ethnic) cultures
  • Development of tools (inventory and technology, learning and training modules / methods / theories) to help people working in international environment to be more effective and having more impact.
  • Bringing in more and more Asian Indigenous perspectives and approaches into the current psychological theories and research methods.
