Overview

Broadly, this research theme looks into the effects of leader transgressions (e.g., misconduct, misbehaviour, deviance) on workers within organisations.

More specifically, adopting a social identity approach, projects within this theme may examine the following questions:

  • How does the organisational level of the leader influence the effects of their transgression on workers?
  • How do workers'  identity configurations affect whether they respond to leader transgressions?
  • How does the type and target of the leader transgression influence the way workers respond to the transgression?

Research activities

  • Designing field, quasi, and experimental studies.
  • Analyse quantitative and qualitative data.
  • Develop manuscripts for submission to peer-reviewed journals.

Skills and experience

These skills are all desirable but negotiable. Your skills can be developed over time.

We are looking for people with an understanding of:

  • social identity theorising within organisations
  • field, quasi, and/or experimental research designs
  • methods for gathering qualitative and/or quantitative data
  • qualitative and quantitative analysis.
