Herb Huang

Hello there! This is Herb Huang, a PhD Candidate in Organizational Behavior and Human Resources Management at the University of Texas at Dallas—Naveen Jinal School of Management. My dissertation examines boomerang hiring—why and when organizations rehire former employees—with a focus on how recruiters evaluate these candidates.

My research focuses on two broad topics: employee mobility and person-environment fit. Regarding mobility, I examine how transitions are facilitated through the interplay between the focal mover and other actors, such as recruiters and coworkers. In the realm of person-environment fit, I focus on leader-follower and team-member interactions through the lens of congruence. My research agenda answers questions regarding how and why individuals understand their work surroundings before, during, and after employment with an organization.

I am always happy to talk about my and your research and teaching. Feel free to reach out (via email & social media links above)!
