Objectives:
-
To study the choice and use of downward influence tactics (tactics used to sway the thinking pattern of the team members) in organizations across sectors.
-
To identify differences, if any, in choice and use of downward influence tactics across genders and sectors.
-
To study the role of affect (mood – positive and negative) in choice of downward influence strategies across gender and sectors.
-
To validate, if any, the existing differences in downward influence tactics adopted across genders (Variables to be studied – gender and downward influence tactics with affect and sectors as moderators).
Work done so far: Running projects on Study of downward influence tactics across genders and sectors and Enhancing Leadership Opportunities for Women in IT and ITES Sector
Description of Method:
The study undertaken would be first of its kind in the Indian scenario assessing the nature of downward influence tactics across genders, where affect and sectors will be taken as moderators.
It is hypothesized that the use of downward influence tactics will be different for both the genders in different organizational cultures.
The researchers aim to adopt a two fold approach of investigation: in-depth interview from a randomly selected sample (Qualitatively) and analysis of responses on Questionnaires (Qualitatively) by using SPSS.
