Pérez-Luño’s research interests have evolved over time. Her first contributions date back to her doctoral dissertation and address the question of how different contingencies, knowledge, human resources, high-performance work practices, as well as market and entrepreneurial orientation influence innovation generation, innovation adoption, and company success. Over the last 8 years, she has combined her original line of interest with another field: the psychological variables of students, managers and entrepreneurs that lead to creativity, innovation, and business success. Within this latter subject, the professor has focused on mental health, i.e., mental disorders such as ADHD and stress, and positive mental health behaviours, e.g., wellbeing and Psychological Capital. Professor Pérez-Luño has occupied a range of institutional positions. She teaches “Innovation Management”, “General Management” (in which 50% of the contents are related to human resources) and “Research Skills” to undergraduates. She also teaches “New trends in Management”, “Management Fundamentals and Initiation to Econometrics” and “Innovation and Entrepreneurship” at a Master level at the UPO and Almería Universities. She was responsible for teaching Innovation as both an undergraduate and Master subject at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (New Jersey).
