I  received my PhD in field of Human Resource Management (HRM) from the Istanbul University School of Business in 2007.  Before joining Hanze International Business School and Tilburg Tranzo, I worked as a full professor of organizational behavior, human resource management, and research methodology at several universities. I am a research-oriented professor. Doing research, teaching, and supervising dissertations are an integral part of my identity as an academic.

My empirically grounded articles have been published in various international, peer-reviewed journals such as International Journal of Human Resource Management, International Journal of Intercultural Relations, Journal of Career Development, Military Psychology, Management Decision, and International Journal of Selection and Assessment.
