Research Project # 1

Leadership and the "black box" of fear that psychological phenomenology inherent in every leader

Brief abstract-Emotional regulation as part of a leader’s professional demeanor has perhaps mostly been an assumed facet within the annals of leadership literature. Yet little has been attributed to the role that fear might play in a leader’s emotional reactivity and decision-making abilities. The influence of a strong dynamic state like "fear" as psychological phenomenology inherent in leaders has not been the concentric focus of most research endeavors examining leadership. But with the rise of precarious VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) events in society, as well as social and political unrest globally, the impact of “wrong-move” decisions in a highly transparent digital era can be catastrophic. More than ever, leaders are faced with various fear-invoking stimuli and an ever-increasing example inventory of leadership gone wrong. In this, there is an imperative need to examine the modulating role that fear may play in every leader’s life making this a worthy endeavor if we are to logically understand the role of leadership comprehensively. To leave out such an important emotional factor is to remove the “human element” of the role. Fear presented herein is conceived of as a frequently “felt” and impactful workplace emotion, especially in times of crisis. In this examination of leaders and the “black box” of fear, researchers examine the "affective-bound judgments" that all human beings make in the presence of fear-inducing stimuli, and address the questions of how the emotional state of fear might influence leaders' depth of processing, and whether fear facilitates the use of intuitive or rational decision-making efforts in this group. Through the lenses of Affective Events Theory (AET), Appraisal Tendency Theory (ATT), and Authentic-Resilient Leadership (ARLT) (as a newly proposed theory), this research seeks to open the first gate of a research inquiry into deepening our understanding of the role that fear plays in every leader’s life.

Note to researcers interested-A prelim paper has been written around this topic. However, we would like to have a team conduct actual research on this topic and analyze results. The basis of those results and this prelim paper may be used, revised to develop a new iteration for publication.

Research Project # 2

Zombie Leadership: How the Big 3 Zombie Practices Compromise Organizations and what to do about them through serotinous leadership

Brief abstract-Much can be said about the last 10 years of leadership and the scope of leadership practices that have been tested against the harshest of conditions such as those of pernicious disasters, drastic political extremes, intensified social issues and more set against the dystopian backdrop of a monolithic pandemic; this VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) carousel of events left an indelible mark on leadership and the practices of leaders around the world. But was it enough to change the direction of antiquated principles of leadership and organizational dynamics? This contribution to the text Leadership, People, and Organizations extends the work of John Quiggins's seminal work on Zombie Economics and that of researchers, Haslam et al., (2024) and their work on Zombie Leadership by focusing on the aspects of organizational dynamics and Zombie "Principles" that continue to sustain and walk among us. In this, we also inspect Zombie "Organizational Dynamics" and the three most compromising aspects of zombie leadership, and organizational dynamics still visible in everything from HR (Human Resource) practices to popular media today. To this end, our research looks at what we call the "Big 3 Zombie Practices" which includes: 1. Principled habituation practices, 2. Bounded fear-failure aversion tendencies, and 3. Self-referential ego valuations. This work seeks to reconceptualize the reasons zombie dynamics still exist amongst leaders and organizations and the counter to challenging such mal-adaptive practices in leadership through the potential of "serotinous" leadership as an emerging form of leadership, at the forefront of the next generation of leaders that will succeed in the most gravitas-centered era of change.

White papers

The University, in coordination with the Career Institute, seeks and CLSOR, seek authors for the following professional whitepaper topics. ��

White papers may be used for publication here on the research hub, through our media team's interest, or for the Career Institute. Faculty may also use white paper publications as enhanced research to gain scholarship credits towards fullfilling faculty scholarship requirements. For Alumni and others, white paper publication offers the chance to begin or cintinue publishing or add to a CV.

We look for white papers that use at least one statistical outcome from the annual Career Index Report, and cite the report somewhere in their paper. Authors are free to use a stat as an impetus for writing towards something they are also interested in within their field. If you choose a topic that doesn't involve the Career Index, we will review papers that are otherwise academically focused. This could be related to teaching, classroom methods and more. White papers are typically 4-5 pages in length minus the reference page. If you are interested, please look at the following as a basis for how white papers are typically written. You may also reach out to Dr. Rodney Luster at rodney.luster@phoenix.edu [subject line-Whitepaper interests].

Academic Blogging

We are always looking for solid evidenced-based blogs and blogging offers the chance to get your name out, stamp current research and tease it out earlier through a blog, develop a network of followers, or siply write on topics within your chosen field. If you are interested, please reach out to Dr. Rodney Luster at rodney.luster@phoenix.edu [subject line-Interests in Blogging].
