My work sits at the intersection of strategic human resource management, organisational behaviour, and entrepreneurship. I explore how organisational practices, individual characteristics, cognition, and contextual factors shape employee experiences, entrepreneurial behaviour, and organisational outcomes. Through research, teaching, academic leadership, and editorial engagement, I aim to connect rigorous scholarship with meaningful practice.
Research and insight into human resource practices, employee experiences, wellbeing, and organisational outcomes.
Exploring the individual and organisational factors that influence behaviour, relationships, engagement, and performance.
Researching entrepreneurial cognition, behaviour, intentions, venture performance, and the factors that shape entrepreneurial outcomes.
Supporting the connection between rigorous academic research, scholarly thinking, and meaningful real-world application.
Experience across teaching, programme leadership, external examining, editorial responsibilities, and academic collaboration.
Turning research evidence and academic knowledge into insights that can inform organisations, professionals, and wider society.
My academic journey combines research, teaching, editorial responsibilities, and professional engagement across international academic environments. I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to questions surrounding people, organisations, management, and entrepreneurship, with a commitment to producing research that is rigorous, relevant, and useful.
My academic journey has developed across Ghana, Australia, and the United Kingdom. It has encompassed teaching, research, programme leadership, and academic service. I currently serve as a Lecturer in Management at the University of Kent. My work focuses on advancing knowledge through research and meaningful academic engagement.
Throughout my career, I have contributed to teaching and learning across diverse academic settings. I have also been involved in programme leadership and wider academic responsibilities.
My academic service extends to editorial and examining roles within the field. I contribute to the editorial community through work with Human Resource Development International. I also contribute to the Journal of the International Council for Small Business. Together, these experiences continue to shape my journey as an academic, researcher, and contributor to the global academic community.
My research examines important questions across strategic HRM, organisational behaviour, employee wellbeing, entrepreneurship, and organisational outcomes. Recent scholarly work includes research on entrepreneurial intentions, psychological contract violation, green HRM, entrepreneurial alertness, venture performance, and sustainable work behaviour.
Understanding cognition, flexibility, adaptability, and the factors influencing entrepreneurial intentions and action.
