Ronald Bledow

Ronald Bledow is an Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour & Human Resources at the Lee Kong Chian School of Business, Singapore Management University. He holds a Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology (with Highest Honors) from the University of Giessen (2010). His research focuses on affect and self-regulation, creativity and innovation, leadership dynamics, and multilevel organizational processes. Notable projects include the DYNAVITY joint Singapore-German research initiative and grants from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Singapore's Ministry of Education.

His work bridges psychological mechanisms with organizational outcomes, emphasizing how temporal factors (e.g., chronotype alignment, sleep quality) and leadership behaviors influence creativity, work engagement, and procrastination. Key contributions include demonstrating how time pressure and positive affect compensate for self-regulatory failures and revealing inverted-U relationships between action-state orientation and creativity under low autonomy.

Awards include the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Psychologie Dissertation Award (2011) and Outstanding Reviewer recognition from the Academy of Management. His research spans entrepreneurship self-efficacy dynamics, ambidextrous leadership, and the temporal patterns of team innovation. Current strategic priorities include digital transformation's impact on organizational creativity and well-being.

His academic service includes grant peer reviews and contributions to journals like Journal of Applied Psychology and Academy of Management Journal. He maintains active collaborations with institutions such as Ulm University (Germany) and Amsterdam Business School.
