CK Chang’s primary research interest is organizational performance in public sector. He is interested in this interdisciplinary research area both on the level of theory and practice, including the dimensions of individual‘s perceptions, behaviors, and organizational boundaries, which exist at the interface of politics and administration. He is fascinated by the interaction of entities in a multilevel governance system in which democratic and diverse groups reflect not only traditional values and indigenous cultures, but also the influence of international networks and trends in globalization. He is now eager to use machine learning algorithms, with more rigorous and sophisticated methodologies, to analyze the ethical dilemmas, cultural foundations, and the factors of performance management in a complex, multilevel governance system.
