Research Interests

Professor, Taylor-Bianco examines leadership, gender and change, across cultures and levels of organizations with an interest in how leaders and their teams influence organizational decisions and outcomes. She does this from an individual and organizational change perspective. 

Her research began with a dissertation grant from National Institute of Health where she learned to create theory, which was published in the Journal of Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, European Journal of Social Psychology, and Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. Her later work allowed for a transition to more global perspectives that were published in the Journal of Vocational Behavior and the Teaching in International Business.

As her research became more applied and values-based, she published in the Journal of Instructional Pedagogies on energy and The Journal of Values-Based Leadership on local entrepreneurship. Her most recent work examines entrepreneurial decision making and leadership looking at teams and has been published in the Journal of Business Venturing, African Journal of Business and has won an Academy of Management Best Paper.
