Dear OB colleagues,
I am looking for 3-5 students to work on a new project: "The Next Evolution of Authentic Leadership," under my supervision at the Edith Cowan University (ECU) School of Business and Law in Perth, Western Australia.
This research extends my work with Professor Kevin Lowe in the Authentic leadership: 20-Year review Special Issue at the Journal of Management and Organization.
Here's the project summary:
"Authentic leadership understanding has evolved considerably in recent years with a new definition based on signalling theory. Significant avenues for new research arise from this latest development. Reframing authentic leadership as dynamic and context-sensitive signalling behaviour enables new insights into how leaders navigate competing demands and how authentic leadership is signalled, constructed, and experienced. Projects may investigate authentic leadership signalling as discrete behaviour across identities, role demands, digital contexts, and with diverse cohorts, as well as the associated cognitive, emotional, and social costs. Research proposals are invited that engage with and meaningfully extend this view. Qualitative or experimental research designs will be preferred."
Here's a link to the project that you can share: https://www.ecu.edu.au/schools/business-and-law/research/research-disciplines/management/the-next-evolution-of-authentic-leadership
Please also find the full project brief attached here with further details, including six potential areas for new research.
If you're interested, or know someone who might be, please contact me to discuss the possibilities!
Scholarships are available to eligible domestic applicants through the Australian government Research Training Program (RTP).
Thank you.
