Shawn joined INSEAD as a Pre-Doctoral Researcher in the Organizational Behavior area in October 2024.
He holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Management (summa cum laude), with a double major in Organizational Behavior and Human Resources (OBHR) and Strategic Management (MGMT), from Singapore Management University (SMU).
Prior to joining the INSEAD team, Shawn was a career military officer, serving multiple shipboard and shore tours as a regular Naval Officer in the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) where he held the rank of Captain. He has also worked with several SMU faculty members in the capacities of a research assistant and a full-time research associate since 2018.
Shawn’s research interests lie primarily in the domain of organizational deviance – both constructive and destructive, such as but not limited to, creativity and unethical behavior. His most recent projects include exploring the effects of AI’s introduction within organizations from an identity and sensemaking perspective, and examining resistance strategies against unethical requests from superiors.
