Lee Kong Chian School of Business

We are a relatively young and very collegial group of scholars. We conduct cutting edge research in a wide variety of research areas (see research interests below). A list of our recent and forthcoming publications can be found at /disciplines/organisational-behaviour-and-human-resources/recent-publications .

We have built a very vibrant and constructive research atmosphere, including biweekly brownbag research sessions and frequent research seminars featuring scholars from around the world. A list of recent seminar presentations can be found at /obhr-research-seminar-series .
