Before joining the Graduate School of Management and the Graduate School of Economics in Kyoto University as a Professor in 2016, I was an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Business Administration (2003-2005), Osaka University of Economics, and an Associate Professor and the full Professor at the Graduate School of Economics, Osaka University (2006-2016). I was also an adjunct faculty at Kobe University, Kwansei Gakuin University, Kansai University, and Konan University.

 

Research Activities: My research interests include employee behaviours, person-environment fit, hiring decision making, psychology of entrepreneurship, cross-cultural organizational behaviour, and international human resource management. I am particularly interested in the future of organizations and work styles from an international perspective, a focus on Asian factors, and the impact of technology.
