I’m a Lecturer in Organisational Behaviour and Research Methods at Henley Business School and a member of the Henley Centre for Leadership.My PhD research explored the effects of different levels of autocratic leadership behaviour on employees. The research discovered the emotional, cognitive and behavioural outcomes of autocratic leadership, also considering the contextual factors such as leader-member exchange social comparison and perceived support of the organisation by the employee.My research interests lie in the relationship of the dark side of leadership (autocratic leadership behaviour, directive styles of leadership) and employee emotions and behaviours. Other areas of research focus include intersection of work and family (i.e. family supportive supervisor behaviours, work life balance), innovative and individualized HRM practices (i.e. flexible work practices, idiosyncratic deals) and International HRM.
