Career Summary
Biography
Dr Ying (Cathy) Xu joined the Newcastle Business School (NBS) of UoN in January 2019 after previously working at UTS and Macquarie University. She is currently based in NBS's Sydney campus. Cathy was awarded her PhD from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in 2010 with a thesis focused on corporate sustainability strategies. She then began her academic career from August 2011 at Macquarie University with a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship under the longitudinal ARC Linkage project on employee voice. Underpinned by quality publications and ongoing projects, Cathy has clearly established a research profile in the fields of strategic and sustainable human resource management, employment relations (employee voice and participation) and corporate sustainability. Her keen interest in sustainable people management has also led to extending research into the interdisciplinary area in health economics, investigating the impact of chronic illness on employees' social and work life.
Cathy is passionate about her teaching and has taught a range of business subjects at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Her recent teaching experience is saliently grounded in HRM and organisational behaviour. Cathy's teaching is greatly informed and enriched by her cross-cultural background as well as extensive experience in research and management practice on her prior job roles as research consultant and senior manager.
