Research Interests
His research integrates human resource management, organizational psychology, and institutional theory to examine workplace dynamics in emerging economies. Key focuses include high-performance work systems, entrepreneurial behavior, social exchange mechanisms, and pandemic-related stress impacts. He employs advanced methodologies including SPSS, R, SmartPLS, and HLM7 for multilevel analysis.
Publication Trends
Recent publications (2023-2025) reveal three dominant trajectories: 1) HR-practice innovation linkages (knowledge sharing, HPWPs), 2) context-specific stress responses (healthcare violence, teacher resilience during COVID-19), and 3) entrepreneurial intention frameworks grounded in planned behavior theory. His work consistently bridges Western theoretical models with Pakistani institutional contexts.
