His work has been published in premier journals including the British Journal of Social Psychology and Political Psychology, with recent focus on identity leadership measurement and cross-cultural applications.

Dr. Maskor completed his PhD at The University of Queensland's School of Psychology in 2021 with the thesis "How leaders fall: Exploring the process of leadership destabilization," establishing his foundational expertise in leadership crisis phenomena. His educational background demonstrates deep specialization in psychological mechanisms underlying leadership transitions.

His research program spans multiple critical domains:

• Identity leadership theory and measurement innovation (including the Visual Identity Leadership Scale)
• Multi-level leadership transgressions and organizational ethics
• Political leadership dynamics in electoral contexts
• Social identity applications in high-reliability organizations
• Intersection of artificial intelligence and human resource management

Analysis of his 2020-2024 publications reveals a strategic evolution from theoretical leadership destabilization models toward practical measurement tools and real-world applications. His recent work demonstrates increasing methodological sophistication through cross-cultural comparative designs while expanding into emerging domains like AI in HR management, reflecting responsiveness to contemporary organizational challenges.
