Expertise

My expertise extends in the fields of Human Resources, Organizational Behaviour, Career Management, Intercultural Management, and Research Methods.

I have taught at all levels, especially graduate and executive, in four continents. Apart from emlyon, some of the institutions I been affiliated with include Strathclyde Business School, the University of Durham (UK), Renmin University (PRChina), Carnegie Mellon University (USA), and ALBA Graduate Business School (Greece).

My main research interests include employability and careers, career success, social capital (mentoring and network resources), the role of personality in the work environment, high performance work systems, expatriation and the issue of common method variance.

I have published nearly 100 articles (most of them single- or first-authored) in peer-reviewed journals that are indexed in the Web of Science and in prestigious edited volumes. My research has attracted approximately 9,000 citations, and my individual impact factor (hI = 36) is one of the highest for Social Sciences in Europe (other indices: h = 44, g = 93). Furthermore, I have attracted in excess of €1.5 million in research funding. Finally, I have published nearly 50 articles in edited journals and practitioners magazines (including People Management, CEIBS Business Review, the HR Director, and The Davos Economics Forum), and I have been interviewed numerous times by the media (to include the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, Les Echos, L' Express, Ouest France and Kathimerini) to discuss my research and provide expert advice.

I am the Director of the Research Center: Global HR and Organization Innovation (GHOIC ).
