Herman Tse is a Leadership and the former Director of the Early Career Academics (ECA) Network at Monash Business School. I earned my PhD from the University of Queensland and hold fellowships with several prestigious bodies, including the Senior Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy, and Fellow of the Institute of Managers and Leaders, the Australian & New Zealand Academy of Management (ANZAM), and the US Center for Evidence-based Management. My research interests encompass multilevel approaches to leadership effectiveness, emotions in work relationships, and employee well-being.

I have co-authored over 80 publications in top-tier academic journals, leading conference proceedings, books, and professional reports. This work has been recognised with 14 prestigious national and international research awards, including the ANZAM Early Career Researcher Award, the ANZAM Best Doctoral Student Paper Award, multiple ANZAM Best Paper Awards, Monash Business School's Research and Teaching Excellence Awards, and the Center for Creative Leadership's Kenneth Clark Leadership Research Award.

My research has been featured in internationally respected books, such as the Oxford Handbook of Leader-Member Exchange, as well as in leading journals including the Journal of Applied Psychology, Personnel Psychology, Harvard Business Review, Leadership Quarterly, and the Journal of Organisational Behaviour.

I have a proven track record of securing over AU$700,000 in competitive research grants from international funding bodies, governments, and corporations. I have successfully supervised 10 doctoral candidates to completion. My work is regularly cited by leading scholars, industry experts, and media outlets such as ABC, Forbes, The Financial Times and SBS. I was ranked among the world's top 20 most productive leadership scholars in a review article published in Leadership Quarterly and recognised as the top 1% of leadership researchers globally in ScholarGPS.

During my tenure as ECA Director, I helped drive a significant increase in funding applications including ARC DECRA, Discovery, and Linkage grants, as well as industry-based research contracts, contributing to over AU$8 million in funded projects.

Beyond academia, I have led impactful industry projects and corporate training programs on leadership effectiveness. I have also collaborated with government bodies and organisations to develop evidence-based frameworks and practical guidelines for human-robot collaborative workplaces and AI-driven digital transformation initiatives.

My research encompasses three critical areas with both theoretical and practical implications: 1) leader-member exchange (LMX) relationships, 2) multilevel leadership frameworks, and 3) human-robot collaboration for enhancing workplace effectiveness. I am dedicated to advancing these fields by developing evidence-based and cutting-edge frameworks  through diverse innovative research designs and techniques.

My work significantly impacts the fields of leadership effectiveness, future of work and interpersonal work relationships. As organizations increasingly recognize the importance of fostering agile, sustainable, inclusive, and innovative workplaces, my research provides valuable insights and practical solutions to meet these evolving needs.

I have developed a contingency supervision approach to manage supervisor-student relationships according to the students' personality, ability and attitude. My former students' comments on this approach include: “Herman’s leadership, and knowledge of supervising research students have enabled me to navigate around many problems that were encountered in the course of my thesis". "Herman taught me to think critically and developed my knowledge and skills in conducting high quality research". "His effective responses to my queries and sharp critiques of my thesis have opened my eyes to the process of academic research".

I am currently available to supervise Honors or PhD projects in the areas of  leadership effectievness, interpersonal relationships, emotions in teams and multilevel research issues in organisations.
