My primary program of research focuses on understanding staffing within the context of forces shaping contemporary Human Resources. For example, I have sought to understand the inherent multilevel nature of staffing, delineating how staffing practices relate to criteria across multiple levels of analysis, and how micro staffing practices (such as performance appraisal) are affected by national culture.
