Current research
Lihui's research interests are broad and multidisciplinary. As a lifelong learner, Lihui has been reflecting on my personal and professional identity and trying to piece together fragments of life experience into a complete picture. This theme connects his various research interests. His interest in strategic HRM and management in professional service firms comes from his years of experience working as an HR Director in an accounting firm. As an HR practitioner, Lihui firmly believes that good management needs to tackle individual and systemic factors simultaneously. His goal in doing research is to make a difference to management practices by integrating perspectives of organizational behaviour, HRM, and strategy. This type of inquiry integrates a wide range of his research interests including strategic HRM, organizational learning and development, leadership, identity, work-life interaction, and management philosophy. Methodologically, Lihui tends to conduct inductive and qualitative research using methods such as interviews and focus groups. However, he is open to mixed methods that integrate qualitative and quantitative analyses when there is a match with the research question.
