Research Interests

Syed's research aligns with the University's research theme of Better Health. His research interests include understanding how consumers' positive emotions contribute to their and others well-being. Syed's research into positive emotions such as gratitude and hope has got the focus of some service firms due to the important roles emotions can play in generating profits and employee productivity.  Syed is also researching the role of positive emotions in developing consumer perceptions of brand innovativeness and sustainability and attainment of consumers' personal, professional and social goals.   He is also working on understanding whether different psychological mechanisms can explain the relationships between firms' economic and non-economic investments and positive organisation and consumer-related outcomes in different contexts such as B2C, B2B and C2C.  Syed's other work is focusing on the role of positive emotional and behavioural responses in group settings, particularly online group settings.  Drawing upon social marketing theories, Syed is working on anti-drinking and anti-radicalisation themes.
