Dr. Ultan Sherman (C.Psychol., Ps.S.I) lectures in Organisational Behaviour and Human Resource Management. His research interests lie broadly in the relationship between work and psychology with specific focus on the psychological contract. His research has been published in leading international journals such as Group & Organization Management and International Journal of Human Resource Management.  Before joining UCC, Ultan completed a Ph.D in the Kemmy Business School at the University of Limerick. He was a postdoctoral researcher in Dublin City University working on a 'tacit knowledge' project for the Irish Centre for Manufacturing Research. He also held a lecturing position in Maynooth University. A Chartered Psychologist with The Psychological Society of Ireland, Ultan has worked with major MNC's in the areas of employee development, selection and team dynamics. He is the Co-Chair of the 21st Irish Academy of Management Conference, hosted in CUBS in September 2018.

My research interests lie at the intersection between psychology and work. Specifically, I have two main interests. First, the psychological contract, an increasingly prominent issue for organisations. Second, knowledge circulation in organisations and the individual factors that influence it. I am also interested in organisational socialisation and personality theory.

I teach a number of modules in the Organisational Behaviour and Human Resource Management fields at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. Modules include:

MG2001: People & Organisation
MG6305: People & Organisations
MG6020: Changing, Leading & Developing Organisations
