  • About

Better known as Chidi, I am a Professor of Human Resource Management at Kent Business School, and Head of the Department of Leadership and Management. Before joining the University of Kent, I held academic positions at the Universities of Sussex and East Anglia. I am currently an Associate Editor for Human Relations, an international peer reviewed journal ranked among the Financial Times Top 50 journals list (FT 50), and serve on the Editorial Board of Human Resource Management Journal.

Background

I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Nigeria, where I was born and raised. I have an MSc in Occupational Health and Safety Leadership (University of Nottingham), an MA in Higher Education Practice (University of East Anglia) and a PhD in Management Research (University of East Anglia). I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a member of numerous professional organisations, including the Academy of Management, British Academy of Management, Nigerian Institute of Management, European Academy of Management, and British Sociological Association.

Research interests

My research relates to job quality, employment relations, workplace values, ethical leadership, psychological well-being, and employee productivity. I collaborate with government departments and policymakers on a national and international level, including the Federal Ministry of Justice (Nigeria), Policy Connect (UK), and the Economist Intelligence Unit (UK). I seek to understand how and why employers adopt good people-management practices towards:

  • developing employees’ knowledge, skills, and abilities at work
  • providing opportunities for proactivity, flexibility and collaboration amongst employees
  • ensuring happier and more productive workers.
