Abstract

This academic recognition profile presents the research record of Qing Yang in Business, Management and Accounting. The available profile reports 7 documents, 133 citations, and an h-index of 4. Published work demonstrates a methodological orientation toward multi-criteria decision-making, intuitionistic fuzzy methods, talent management, organizational behavior, and innovation-related questions.[1][3]

Keywords

Innovation; decision-making; talent management; overseas talent; organizational behavior; fuzzy decision methods; group decision-making; human resources; management research.

Introduction

Yang’s research portfolio reflects the intersection of management theory and structured analytical approaches. A recurring concern is how complex organizational and human-resource decisions can be evaluated systematically when information is uncertain, heterogeneous, or supplied by multiple stakeholders. This orientation is evident in studies of overseas talent classification and person–job fit in China.[1][2]

Research Profile

  • Business, Management and Accounting
  • Multi-criteria and group decision-making
  • Talent evaluation and management
  • Organizational innovation and behavior

Research Contributions

The published studies contribute to methodological and applied management research. One line of work develops matching and evaluation procedures using intuitionistic preference relations, BWM, TOPSIS, and large-scale group decision-making techniques.[1][2] Other research considers government support for talent policy and innovative work behavior, extending attention from internal organizational factors toward external institutional influences.[3]

Abstract

This academic recognition profile summarizes the documented research activities of Darrell Burrell, with particular attention to scholarship connecting organizational behavior, health psychology, sustainability, cybersecurity, public safety, and artificial intelligence. His recent publications demonstrate an interdisciplinary approach to examining how knowledge systems can respond to organizational and societal risks. The record includes five recent works published or released in 2026, covering military pilot fatigue, environmental public health economics, financial cybercrime, unmanned aerial search and rescue, and discrimination risks associated with AI-assisted hiring. [1] [2]

Keywords

Innovative Research Award; Darrell Burrell; organizational health; health psychology; military pilot fatigue; sustainability; environmental public health; cybersecurity; unmanned aerial systems; artificial intelligence; industrial and organizational psychology.

Introduction

Burrell’s recent scholarship reflects an interest in applying interdisciplinary perspectives to contemporary organizational and public challenges. The work on organizational health education and military pilot fatigue considers the relationship between knowledge ecosystems and health psychology, while other publications extend the analytical scope toward environmental sustainability, cybercrime, public safety, and workplace AI. [1] [3]

Research Profile

The available profile records 140 documents, 461 citations, and an h-index of 11, with Business, Management and Accounting identified as the principal subject area. [6] The breadth of recent outputs suggests a research orientation that crosses conventional disciplinary boundaries and examines the interaction between people, organizations, technologies, policy, and environmental systems.

Research Contributions

  • Explores organizational health education and the psychological dimensions of military pilot fatigue. [1]
  • Connects sustainability, conservation, and environmental public health economics in a regional U.S. context. [2]
  • Examines behavioral and policy dimensions of financial cybercrime and cyberpsychology. [3]
  • Considers unmanned aerial systems as tools for public health and safety applications in search and rescue. [4]
  • Applies industrial and organizational psychology to discrimination risks associated with AI-enabled hiring. [5]
