About
I am an Associate Professor in Organisational Behaviour and a chartered psychologist. I received my PhD and a MBA from the University of Surrey; awarded a First-class Honour of BSc in Psychology from the Open University. My PhD research investigated the professional identity and disclosure of UK Engineers and was fully funded by the University of Surrey and supported by six professional bodies of engineers in the UK. For my PhD work on identity I received Postdoctoral Research Fellowship funding award by the Economic Social Research Council (ESRC) which enabled me to work as a post doc at the University of Surrey and Linköping University, Sweden.  Following on, I was a Research Fellow in Organisational Behaviour and Research Methods at the School of Management at University of Surrey, and Lecturer in Organisational Behaviour at Surrey Business School. I attained the Fellow status of the UK Higher Education Academy in 2011. My wide variety of experience derived not only from academia but also from industry: voluntary work with non-governmental organisations in Africa and Europe, head of sales and marketing in Asia, business consultant in the UK and project lead in establishing University partnership between University of Surrey and Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, China. This joint academic partnership institution is now known as SII- DUFE. I am currently leading and researching a number of impactful and exciting projects, such as religious identity and working for the NHS, identity conflict and complementarity in a wide range of organisations (banking, law, education, business, and healthcare) and leadership in church organisations in the UK and the USA.

About
I am a social-organizational psychologist by training, and have over 20 years of professional experience in higher education, organizational change and development, marketing, as well as diversity and inclusion in private and nonprofit sectors. As a researcher, I'm most curious about topics that intersect conflict management, diversity, equity, and inclusion at group and organizational levels. As a tertiary educator, I teach social science research designs and methods to help my students explore and address important conflict issues they care about. I also teach organizational conflict management systems to cultivate students' understanding and design of complex conflict management dynamics and processes in teams and organizations. Last but not least, I am actively involved in providing research-based advice and expertise to support organizations in advancing diversity, inclusion, and other pursuits of organizational excellence.

Consumer Behavior Analysis

A Social Psychology expert can conduct research to understand consumer behavior patterns, preferences, and motivations. This information can help companies tailor their products, services, and marketing strategies to better meet the needs and desires of their target audience.

Decision-Making Optimization

By applying Social Psychology principles, an expert can analyze decision-making processes within organizations. They can identify biases, cognitive limitations, and social influences that may affect decision outcomes. This analysis can lead to more informed and effective decision-making strategies.

Workplace Diversity and Inclusion

Social Psychology researchers can help companies create inclusive and diverse work environments. They can conduct studies to understand the impact of diversity on team dynamics, employee satisfaction, and productivity. This knowledge can guide companies in implementing strategies to foster a more inclusive and equitable workplace.

Leadership Development

These experts can conduct research on leadership styles, team dynamics, and employee motivation. This knowledge can be used to train and develop leaders who can effectively manage teams and drive organizational success.
