Anna’s research adopts both a micro and a macro perspective on organisational ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility. She is interested in the routine practices associated with ethical conduct and responsibility initiatives in organisations and has written on the subject of ethical leadership. Part of her current research focuses on the presence and practical value of uncertainty and ambiguity in the practice of organisational ethics. In addition to this, she has explored how and why powerful social actors such as governments engage with the Corporate Responsibility agenda.

In her studies, Anna combines management literature with writings in ethical philosophy, discourse analysis, psychoanalysis and myth. Her research is inspired and informed by perspectives offered by Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Levinas, Simone de Beauvoir and Carl Jung.

Anna’s most recent research project is the study of how UK organisations implement the recent government requirement to disclose their gender pay gap. The goal is to evaluate the impact of the reporting requirement on closing the gender pay gap, and, more generally, the extent to which increased transparency and reporting contributes to ethical conduct and well-being in organisations.
