Thank you for visiting my academic website! I am an assistant professor in School of Public Administration and Public Policy at Kookmin University (KMU), Seoul, South Korea.
My current research interests include public organizational management and performance, human resource management, and behavioral policy/public administration. My research generates novel insights about organizational behavior and performance in public sectors by exercising behavioral science insights and methods. In general, I focus on answering one major question, how public leaders, policymakers, and governments (especially at the local level) can achieve more productive organizational outcomes by improving management and leadership. My research falls into four categories.
First, I use innovative experiments to examine how managing diversity affect organizational performance and productivity by reflecting citizens’ interests and increasing citizens’ cooperation. In this research, my study takes into account the ways in which personal or group identity and background inform decision-making. Second, my research examines how different leaders use performance information (media, citizen, and political information) and how this information affects managerial decision-making in public sectors. Third, my research focus on cognitive factors that can increase public service motivation, thereby influencing important organizational performance. In addition, based on my dissertation and previous research on politics and administration, I am also interested in exploring the effects of governance institutions (namely, fiscal federalism and decentralization) on public service delivery, most notably at the local level, in three major policy areas; economic development, welfare, and policing programs.
My work has been published or is forthcoming in journals such as Public Administration Review, Review of Policy Research, Public Policy and Administration, Local Government Studies, Economics E-Journal, Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies, International Journal of Public Administration, Journal of Urban Affairs, Continumm, Perspectives on Federalism, Social Science Journal, International Political Science Review, Korea Observer, and Korean Political Science Review.
Prior to joining the faculty at KMU, I was the faculty in the School of Public Affairs and Administration at the Rutgers University-Newark and in the School of Public Policy at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I received a Ph.D. from the Department of Political Science at the University of Missouri, Columbia, majoring in both Public Administration and Policy.
