His research interests focus on organizational leadership and business administration.

His findings indicated that financial incentives alone do not significantly drive employee retention and other qualitative factors are necessary to influence employee retention. In 2019, his research, "A Qualitative Case Study of Employee Turnover in Retail Business," was published in Heliyon.
