About
- I am interested in the effects of leader styles and attributes on employee performance and well-being, team processes and outcomes, and organizational strategies. In my dissertation, I focus on leader communication styles and study their impact on various employee outcomes through motivational, affective, and cognitive pathways. In other projects, I look at leaders’ participative strategies and their impact on team performance and leader perceptions. I also have related projects on understanding the implications of leader attributes such as narcissism, and extraversion on organizational strategy. In addition to leadership, I am interested in studying workplace phenomenon that are especially relevant in modern organizations. I have several ongoing projects in this area including papers on mindfulness and morality, reactions to workplace aggression, organizational change, and global virtual teams (GVTs).
