Research Interest

"Dr. Keng-Highberger's research interests lie in the intersection of three main research domains: (a) business and behavioral ethics, (b) leadership, and (c) decision making in organizations. More specifically, she examines psychological and cultural predictors of both commission (e.g., abusive and punishment behaviors) and omission (e.g., moral decision avoidance, moral procrastination, laissez-faire leadership) forms of (un)ethical decision-making and behavior. In conducting research across these three domains of interest, Dr. Keng-Highberger is proficient in a range of conceptual, methodological, and analytical techniques, including hierarchical linear modeling, (hierarchical) structural equation modeling with MPlus, Lisrel, and Amos, polynomial regression analysis, cognitive priming, and experience sampling methodology."
