Her latest research work “Leader Effectiveness in Emerging Markets: An Empirical Study of the Managers in India” being selected as a 2014 Highly Commended Paper winner for Journal of Technology Management in China.

Her research study focused on emotional intelligence (EI) and leader effectiveness as well as the potential role of EI as a moderating variable in non-Western countries. The research comprised of survey across 352 managers in India in order to examine the relationship between EI and tolerance of ambiguity (TOA), respectively, and leader effectiveness as well as the potential moderating effects of EI on the relationship between TOA and leader effectiveness. The research found that both EI and TOA were significantly related to leader effectiveness. Additionally, EI significantly and positively moderated the relationship between TOA and leader effectiveness.

This study contributes to research on EI, has implications for the generalizability of EI in Asian countries, and contributes to an increased understanding of leadership in emerging markets.
