Location
Professor Benjamin Laker is a Professor of Leadership at Henley Business School. He has held a chair since 2018.
His research examines how organisational order is constructed, strained and reconstituted under conditions of institutional precarity and socio-normative contestation across contemporary settings. Resultant findings from his research have been published in the Journal of Management Studies, Human Relations, the Journal of Consumer Research, Human Resource Management, the Journal of Vocational Behavior, Organizational Research Methods, Harvard Business Review and MIT Sloan Management Review. He is the author of several books published by the Financial Times and MIT Press, including Closing the Service Gap and Job Crafting, which have been endorsed by Apple and Google and praised by the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
Benjamin is Consulting Editor at the Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology and Associate Editor at the International Journal of Human Resource Management and the Journal of Business Research. He leads concurrent Special Issues in Technovation, the International Journal of Human Resource Management and the Journal of Business Research, examining identity tensions in innovation, the fragility of workplace inclusion and strategic decision-making in non-homogeneous teams.
In 2025, Benjamin was appointed as a REF2029 sub-panel member. He is currently recruiting doctoral candidates interested in qualitative methodologies that seek to apply identity theory within organisational contexts.
