DOI: 10.24818/IMC/2024/02.02 ↗My doctoral research at ASE Bucharest examines the relationship between emotional intelligence competencies and leadership effectiveness across diverse organisational and cultural contexts.
Drawing on both bibliometric analysis and empirical methods, my work investigates how EI models — from Goleman to Bar-On and Mayer-Salovey — can be applied to predict and enhance leadership outcomes.
Comparative mapping of Goleman, Bar-On, Mayer-Salovey and other EI models across the academic literature.
Empirical investigation into which EI competencies most strongly predict leadership success.
How leadership behaviours and EI adapt in remote working and algorithmically-mediated environments.
International and cross-cultural dimensions of leadership engagement, especially in higher education contexts.
I welcome connections with researchers in EI, leadership, and management education.
