There is an opportunity for a self-funded PhD candidate to collaborate with Dr Nguyen and her research team on a project examining AI fatigue and its implications for workplace performance, wellbeing, and safety.
Research areas
Dr Nguyen’s research focuses on volunteering, human resource management, organisational behaviour, and workplace wellbeing. She is particularly interested in how high-performance work systems, leadership, line management practices, and organisational learning influence employee motivation, creativity, performance, resilience, and quality of working life.
Her recent work also examines the implications of artificial intelligence and digital transformation for HRM, with a particular focus on employee wellbeing, perceptions of dehumanisation, creativity, and the future of work.
