Research Interest
Research Interest
My research interests center on identity and identification construction in organizations, global virtual teams, and the role of workplace technology in shaping communication practices. A significant portion of my research focuses on cross-cultural studies in organizational settings, such as
(1) How is identity and identification constructed in different org settings and cultural environments?
(2) How do people in different cultural backgrounds perceive organizational communication (such as anonymity and secrecy) differently?
(3) How do members of global virtual teams understand and engage with AI and workplace technologies?
(4) How do employees adapt to cross-cultural and hybrid (both remote and in-person) work environments?
(5) How do organizations navigate cultural differences among employees and external stakeholders to construct an organizational identity that supports long-term effectiveness?
